Viewing a huge for read only and looking for a specific word

Hi everyone,
I am working from my windows workstation on VPN to our servers, where have Linux installed. I want to read only a log file, which is huge and I only wan to look at the lat 2000 lines, but when I use the command tail -2000 filename.log  I cant browse up the black window of the VPN to see the rest of the view, so am I doing wrong??
Many thanks
Miss “B”
