MS SQL 2000 does not speak TDS 5.0 and I don't know if it will do 4.2
either.  Try 8.0 and/or 7.0 and see if you fare any better.  You may
also want to define the environment variable TDSDUMPCONFIG to see a
bit more about what's going amiss in the login conversation.

It would be nice to get an update to docs/getting_started.txt about
what server products support what TDS versions by one of the gurus
out there who has that matrix in his or her head.
