I'm using Remote Desktop Connection 2.11 on Mac OS X 10.6.8, trying to connect to a Windows 2000 Server. I type in the IP (local) and it warns me that it can't verify the identity of the computer, I hit "Connect", it opens a black window (as if it were about to work) then immediately crashes:

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get it to work? It works perfectly fine connecting to Win Server 2008 R2.
Honestly, I'm not surprised. Support for Windows 2000 Server ended on July 13, 2010. So it's probably a client-software fault because it can't handle the exception thrown by Win2K.
