Microsoft SQL 2000 Troubling the Network

[akaize]

We have installed Microsoft SQL 2000 on a Windows NT Server, which is connected to our network, that have one more Novell Network Server.

When we start the MSSQL2000 database, after a while the network is jammed, and everyone is facing difficulties to work in the network. When we stop this SQL server the network speed comes to normal.

Please guide me to fix this problem?

Well, assuming that "use a better RDBMS" is out of the question, have you checked the M$ website for issues of this nature? Have you installed all the current patches to the SQL Server and the Windows Server it's running on?
