Windows 2000 gets rid of the virtual serial port for the IrDa port. If you want to use the S40 software with Windows 2000, you can only use the data cable.

Anyway, same problem appears with the Palm Infra-red hot sync with Windows 2000 too.

Windows XP will behave the same as Windows 2000, so make sure you still have Windows 98SE/Me in a seperate partition in your notebook computer.
