Spldart and I just realized that we were having the same groups problem with our servers. Whenever anybody logged on, they were not globally identified. Also, they were not added to their respective groups. What I concluded was that either a firewall or a router was blocking the global registratoin packets from reaching either the global reg. database or spldart's server. I did a quick packet sniff and found a few packets like this:
This problem appears to affect only windows users.. I have solved it by compiling my own bzfs. Jeffm2501 says it may because I have a different network lib. You could try it here : http://www.freewebs.com/wegstar/downloads.htm ...and that copy did not work for spldart hopefully it will for you

ERROR: did not get token:
NOTOK: invalid callsign or password (nader:xxxxx)
or something even like that... I guess my problem is different

I don't know what you did, but that fixed my server's global reg problem! Any chance someone could compile the fixes against 2.0.2?

Tried it, doesn't fix the issue. It would be great if this could be fixed before 2.0.4 is released. Nader's works fine, try compiling the next beta in Dev-C++ with his network lib and height checking disabled. I'm assuming the network lib came with the compile environment but I really have no idea what he's using.
and please, please check bzfs.exe against the md5 and sha1 hashes listed there.
Good Luck.
