Here is a link on configuring the service:
 
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q246/1/51.ASP
 
But I think your issue may revolve around the summary sentence:
 
"To gain access to the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) e-mail client profile, you must configure the Microsoft Windows 2000 Fax Service to run under an Administrator account. "
 
I ran into this same problem trying to connect to my servers with perfmon. If you don't know how to do this, reply here.
