Thank you everyone for your comments.  All that advise gave us more
than enough information to fix the problem.  Zone Transfers are now
working.

To check if zone transfers is allowed on a W2k DNS Server: 
       on the W2k DNS server--> right click on zone and select  properties 
                                    In the properties display: 
                                       click on zones transfer tab 
                                       check if the "allow zone
transfers" is checked
                                            verify slave servers for
the zone is the server list or
                                           if "Only to servers listed
on the Name Servers tab" is checked,
                                           verify your slave server is
listed under the "Name Servers" tab
