PB G4 with 10.4.3 and Little Snitch 1.2.1. Trying to set up Skype

do always, that keeps coming up. If temporarily turn Little Snitch
off, can log on successfully. Any ideas how to do it with Little
Snitch on
I'm afraid this is the "normal" behavior of all VoIP (voice over IP)
and p2p (peer to peer) applications. These applications need to
create dozens of connections to various hosts and it's virtually
impossible to decide which connections are "ok" and if some or "not
ok". So the only solution is to "allow every" connection...:-(
Please do the following:
* Go to the LittleSnitch Preference Pane
* Remove ALL rules regarding Skype
* Now launch Skype and wait for the LittleSnitch popup panel to appear
* Choose "forever" and "Any network connection" and click "Allow
Forever"
Now Skype will be able to operate normally. You can then manually add
some LittleSnitch rules to deny connections for Skype to specific
hosts if you want - more specific rules will always overrule more
general ones.
