Skype still down



Hi to all of you who've not given up on getting Skype to work again!

I live in DXB in a non-free/freehold zone and cannot get skype to work without any of the workarounds known to many in this thread but which I will not disclose for the reasons most of us know.

Skype is still not working in SHJ either.

However, I have been experiencing lately something very strange: By using one popular workaround, I can use Skype & make crystal-clear calls one day but over the next few days the "workaround" becomes very unreliable (frequent disconnects) while my firewall detects very frequent attacks on my PC coming from UAE based IP addresses only!!! Could our beloved local telecoms provider be behind it???

Anyone experiencing anything similar to what I described?

Cheers,

D
