Sorry for the delay in my response, I took a much needed vacation and completely unplugged.
I can't speak to Skype, as I've never used their service. You might simply disable the proxy temporarily to verify that your issue is truly the proxy server. If that resolves the issues, I would probably try to exclude the sip server with which you register from being handled by the proxy. This can be done under your proxy settings in the network based access control area. Once you have excluded the address, you'll have eliminated the proxy as your issue.

My question is, is there a way to use skype with some defined tcp-udp port, and not using 80-443??? thanks in advance for your help. luca On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 3:00 AM, Mike Knisely <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What version of Endian are you running? > > To me, it looks like the ML is suggesting having your Skype devices connect across web ports.
