MS SQL Server 2000 Installation problem

[Rich25]

I installed MS SQL Server 2000 client tools to work with our SQL Server at work. After installing the client tools, I went to register new server, and completed this. The new server shows up and when I click on it, Databases, views, and other folders show up. When I click on the Databases folder, my computer's hard disk sounds like it's doing something, but the program eventually locks up and I have to end the task. Can anyone give me any help with what I may doing wrong? It's not a server problem because other people here at work aren't having this problem, and can connect to the server fine. I'm running Windows 2000 Professional on a P3 667 MHZ with 128 MB Ram.

Thanks,
Rich

Sounds network related....

Check your connection to the server (ping it, check drive mappings, etc.).
