hmmm, ok, so we hafta start thinking about the connection stuff. under connection settings within the game, make sure you uncheck 'use system internet settings'. check 'connect through lan or connect manually'. and uncheck 'use a proxy server'.
if your using a software firewall, e.g. zonealarm (the best) or norton internet security (most bloated, though a cnet.com review says it's been trimmed down), make sure linksmmiii.exe has local and server trusted access.
beyond that, the only thing i can think of is there are conflicting values left in the registry. ya might try uninstalling links, running regedit, and manually deleting everything in the registry with links 2003 in it. then reinstall links + v1.05 + server switcher (thanks, free'. when i say reinstall, i always assume the update stuff).
