Skype access ?

    Hi all,
    I've had impossible problems connecting to Skype. I'm on Broadband with digiweb and they claim I should be having no problems - has anyone else had issues connecting? I've checked all the firewalls etc, and tried with them all off etc, but nothing seems to be 'getting out'.

    None of the Skype help or Digiweb techies have been any use at all.

    I could really do with some suggestions.

    Thanks in advance, S.

    Hi

    Had the same problem today after did an upgrade, but looks like not the same problem as for you, in my case I was using a Firewall (Check Point Integrity Flex) went to the setting and Allow Skype to access the internet (it was defaulted to ask) and work straight away.

    Regards

    Thanks Napa. Yea, checked that, and have it as an exception on Windows Firewall. Doesn't even go with no firewall up.

    Sorry, Nava! (just back from San Francisco - Napa Valley on the brain)
