I had a similar problem accessing .jsp pages on a Linux box so don't know if this will apply to W2k but hopefully it will help.
My problem was that I (the one who starts/stops Tomcat) did _not_ have write permission to the $TOMCAT_HOME/work directory. This is what Tomcat uses to create the servlet class files for each jsp file. Once I changed the ownership of this directory, I was able to access jsp pages. --- "John M.
