If you don't want any outside interference it has port (something like ) it listens on just block that form the Border Gateway/Router.Seems "it proudly brought to us" by some other guys not the guys at Kazza ;-) .But I know and read Skype is intelligent/good network tool it won't cross the gateway if it learns that both whyners from whyning (calling parties) are on the same subnet :-)

Thanks Kiggs,
Actually this is what I thought when I was going through its documentation at
first, but then in the same docs, they mention that each PC that has skype
installed on it acts as a gateway for other PCs that need to skype others. In
effect others use your PC (and hence network), resources for their needs.
This returned bad memories of KaZAA, hence the inquiry to see if I could lock
it down straight from installation to serve only the internal network.



Not sure you can "lock it down" like that but considering that Skype is proudly brought to you by the same guys of KaZaA, it probably may be a long shot!
