This is almost certainly a firewall configuration problem. It is very common for firewalls to only allow certain versions of a program to connect to the Internet by default. Usually this uses a hash check (like MD5) to make sure the .exe hasn't changed. You need to configure your firewall to turn this off for the three BYOND programs that can connect to the Internet: byond.exe, dreamseeker.exe, and dreamdaemon.exe.
