Sounds like you don't have the "always connected" setting on the TAP.  
See the section "Installing coLinux-20040429 with TAP networking on 
Windows 2000":

   http://colinux.org/wiki/index.php/PreBuiltBundles

Since you already have colinux installed with the file system, you can 
skip/ignore those steps and just do the steps for setting up the TAP 
and regular NIC.

I also have a page of different setups that I've experimented with, 
including a section at the very bottom called "Resolving TAP issues on 
Windows 2000" when networking get's a little iffy:

Try those out and let us know how things go, both good and bad, so that 
we can improve this great project that Dan has started.
