Just a few clues, (or questions ) to help you.

1. Are you using Bridged LAN or NAT with your gest VM machine?
If Nat are you able to ping from both sides? the Win2k to Dapper and
Dapper to Win2k?

2. It is just my opinion but I always prefer to use linux protocols to
share info between win and linux, so maybe to install winscp or using
ftp (the server could be any of the sides -or even both-) could be a
less headache aproach.

best regards,
