Some non cable modems are still working on Skype right on sz Road. A possbile fixit would be to unistall skype and re-install it on a layover.

I dont understand how they can block one person and someone else in the building with the SAME modem can use it!! I guess it has to be a targeted block somehow..

Skype still works for me BTW.

Another possible fixit would be::

Left click your internet connection in the SYSTRAY on the bottom left hand side.

Hightlight Status & Click

Click Properties

Double click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Make a written note of all number there!!!!

Then click Obtain an IP address automatically

Obtain DNS address automatically

OK

see if this works... also perform a virus scan and make sure you have a decent firewall.

The guys I know who can still use Skype are using the latest version and have fantastic internet security.

It simply does not add up how some can and some can't!!!

Good luck everyone... please post a reply if it worked or was a complete waste of time.
