hmmm, ok, first thing you did after installing v1.03 (from disk or download) was download/install v1.07 from the link provided below (or above, i order threads newest on top).
check connection settings. uncheck use system internet settings. check connect through lan or connect manually. nothing should be checked for proxy (i'll assume you're not using a proxy, otherwise, you would be having no trouble figuring this out).
finally, as ted suggested in the other thread you have going with this same problem, make sure if you have a software firewall, e.g. norton, zonealarm (my preference), links has access.
afterthought #1:
to make sure you're pointed to the correct game server (v1.07 should take care of this for you), go here (at least on an xp machine):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Links 2003\LinksTour
verify the 'server' value is 'www.lspn.net'. if it isn't, change it.
