networking with win2000 & xp

[abkcon]

I'm trying to connect two computers with a router, the
main comp is running xp(home) and the 2nd has 2000 pro, I
can't get the netsetup to run on the 2nd computer. Belkin
were not helpful in troubleshooting. xp states that the
network connection is not supported in win 2000 pro, any
ideas of how to work around this? please and thx
