This depends. If the machine is in a company, they will probably have a DHCP server somewhere, and, the hub should work. Be aware, however, that they may have restrictions on the network preventing non-authorised devices being attached. You may also find that any attempt to attach a non-authorised device may bring disciplinary action (it does where I work).

If this isn't the case, then the easiest option would be to connect a wireless router between the Windows 2000 PC and it's network connection.
