One possibility is that the 2000 box is attempting to do a reverse DNS lookup on the target box when you're telnetting or ftping. Try adding the bsd box to the hosts file on the 2000 machine and see if that helps. I can't say that i've seen that exact problem with windows machines, but I have seen that with a couple of different linux distros. But it's rather possible that reverse DNS has been implemented in w2k.
