You must give me the cube on long term loan so I can fix the problem for
you.  :-)

Its likely that you either need to run NAT, or both your Mac and Win2K
box are configured for the same IP address, (the one RR gave you), or
both of these things are true.

Is it the RR router?
Are both of your machines configured to run DHCP?

Send the output of
MacOS X:  ifconfig -a (or ifconfig en0)
Win2K: ipconfig /all

back via mail (off-list preferred), and I'll take a look.
