Just a guess: WINS? The one machine that determines if things connect is the
WINS master, and name resolution fails without it.
Troubleshooting: Try connecting via IP instead of name, or FQDN if available.
If it does work via these methods, but not by the shortname, I'd bet it is WINS.
Solution: Install a WINS server on your 2003 box. Have the DHCP server
designate your WINS server. Give it about an hour (Yes, it takes that long
sometimes) and your problems should be over.
I hope that helps.

Thanks, Matt, the server is designated a WINS server although I don't
believe anything uses it. Maybe ECCO - that's an old app. IAC, the
WINS server, DHCP server are both running on the same box - all the same
- 192.168.0.1 - which is the address of the server.
