Currently my two network interfaces come up as Local Area Connection 2 and Local Area Connection 3. I've tried removing and re-installing but they still refuse to come up as 1 and 2. I'm assuming something needs to be reset before 1 is used?

That is way easier to teach you how to use the device manager in W2K, which, depending on your skills, will take at least a full hour. -- <snip>

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.
HTH.
