workgroups for both computers.

How are you pinging? By name or IP? If by name, then maybe your DNS nonsense
is mucked up, and try pinging by IP. If you've already tried by IP, then
check to make sure the computers are on the same subnet and have the same
Default Gateway. Also, as JaR mentioned, make sure your NIC is compatible
with your new 2003 install, and you have updated drivers.
