Unable to open Project or Website

Hi, I am new at VB development but getting at it eventually. I have a couple of questions so here is the first one.

I am not able to open a whole site or project from our dev server. We have a site developed in .NET and my boss is able to open it fine in hers. I am however not able to. I do not get any error messages.

When i do this:
File, Open Project... or Open Website... nothing happens. the Start Page stays intact.

Am i doing something or is this a restriction problem? let me know, thanks.
