It could be Win2K is not like XP when dealing with wireless cards; you may have to restart the computer after you disable the wireless connection. Or try this, take out the w-card and re-insert the card. Can you "enable" the connection now?
If not, get a command prompt and check your TCP/IP settings; can you get them? If so, type this: ipconfig /release_all
Then type: ipconfig /renew_all
If you are unable to get your TCP/IP settings after disabling the card, you may just have to reboot.
In the future, for Win2K, don't disable the connection, just pop out the card and reinsert. If you still have problems, then go to the command prompt and type those commands
