Sign in Error
Failed to sign in: unable to connect to Skype P2P network
Mac user, ADSL wireless... and no idea how to fix it!
Mine actually fine logged in until only 2 days ago when you guys are back online if I'm not mistaken.. coincidence probably..

... well - looks like the Etisalat-muppets have brought up their barbwire once again - rendering my Skype logo to an ash-grey shade ...
time to start up my anonymizer - and - et Volia ! - a nice green tick in the Skype Box once again
just enjoyed an hour VOIP-call overseas in excellent quality as before -for merely som cents - beat that ;-))

Mine as well totally T.U. Both Skype and Yahoo Voice. Haven't been able to log either for three days. These guys are not dumb. Lots of noise from expats, in the paper etc. Throw them a couple of days bone then block it again. So is everybody have the energy again to voice opinions in the 7 Days, sign petitions, or give up? Very frustrating and don't have hard core computer knowledge here to do a hard fix. Sort of like a Boeing guy going to an Airbus.

my way of beating uae's greedy and disgraceful dish-dash's: i call my kin with my handy, let it ring three times, then hang up. that means using etisalats infrastructure without paying them. then my folks call me back with the cheapest voip from our country. they call me on the landline, again we're using etisalat infrastructure without paying nothing.
my phonebill has gone down 280%, because i do not even give the short handy calls home i did before: same procedure, it takes a few seconds more, but it's utterly rewarding and nervesoothing.
if everyone does that, they might even feel it................

Etisalat RIP
Wake up all half baked dish-dash and Indians at Etisalat.
You hire us to work here because we are brighter than you, and you can't do our level of work on your own!
It may not surprise you that your ill thought out block on Skype took me only one hour of digging to bypass. Please also take note that my rules are simple, any failed login to Skype = one job application. If you think you might be adding to UAE profits by trying to make us use your landlines at 10X the current world normal international rate, I suggest you factor in the cost of the loss of one experienced airline Captain.
Keep on learning!!!

Okay You guys need to
1: download this It's called ipig or Hamachi.
or
2: Use Ipig (I hosted it for you in an earlier thread)
Have some one in a country other than the one your in or using a connection that isn't blocked host hamachi server or ipig server. There both so easy to use It's killing me to hear you guys having so much trouble. The Software is free.
Hamachi you just set up Internet connection sharing throuh windows linux mac. You'll have your own personal encrypted vpn anywhere in the world. and it's so easy to set up. Have a family member freind whoever host the hamachi for you. I don't think that anyone can block it. It'll take no more than ten minutes of your time and this bs will be over.
ARRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Looking into the problem Tor?
Just contacted someone thats more tech savy then me. The jist of it is that blocking skype is hard to do. He didn't say this but I'll bet that skype is trying to work the problem. Imagine losing marketshare in an entire region of the world. Thats alot of cash. Also recieved a pm that they've managed to block ipig is everyone having this problem? Has anyone tried to get skype working with tor? I've tried to configure it myself but i'm not sure if It'll work for any of you.

hotspot vpn
Hey Speedy I been considering setting up a system. But wouldn't it be better for you guys to go through hotspotvpn instead it's only about $6 us a month.
Are they blocking that too. Are there any other isp's in the region that won't censor you
