On 2000 professional, so I'm assuming the same as 2000 server:
    Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial-up Connections
right click on "Local Area Connection 2" and select "Rename".

Alternatively, disable both network connections, once disabled you should be 
able to delete them, and at that point when windows re-detects them they 
should come up as Local Area connection 1 and 2.
