Hey list!
I had the same problem too with the last version of skype and here is how I
solved it, am running windows XP so I'll explain it referring to this
system.
You have to close completely skype and go to C:\Documentsandsettings, select
your windows account, mine for example is called with my name Marialaura,
enter in it and go into the folder application data, choose the folder of
skype and when you enter it you'll find a folder that has the name of your
skype account, for example my skype name is marialaura_uberti, so in the
folder skype I have a folder called with this name, go into that folder and
remove from it the two files called config.lck and config.xml. After doing
this you can open skype again but you'll have to set up again your
configurations or skype settings including any changes you made to the
sounds and so on, but now skype will work fine and while you're in a call
with someone and someone else tries to call you it won't hang up anymore!
I hope I was clear and that you'll find this information helpfull, happy
skyping Marialaura!

Hi!
I don't have voicemail enabled in Skype 4.1 either, but, ever since I've
installed the latest version of Skype, I've had the same problem as Larry,
namely Skype hanging up very soon after anybody starts calling me. I've
also had that problem the other way round: in other words when I call
somebody Skype doesn't ring for very long before Skread tells me the call
has been refused.
It's very rare that I'm away from the computer when my Skype rings, but,
even though I have hotkeys to focus Skype and to answer a call, I don't
always get to the Skype window and hit alt+page-up fast enough when I hear
Skype ringing, so I get a lot more missed calls than before now that I'm
using the newest version of Skype.
I had heard about this problem from a couple of friends before Larry
mentioned it in his post to this list, so I assume that this is a bug with
the latest version of Skype 4.1. I'm sure we all hope that this bug will
disappear in a future release of Skype.
In the meantime, it's a great pity that there is no option in Skype to set
the number of times it rings, or the length of time it rings, before the
call is refused, or before Skype switches to voicemail for those who have
that set up.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, other than just hoping that this
bug disappears, I'll be interested to know about it.
Bye for now, and happy skyping!
From Clare

Do you have Voicemail active? If so then by default it will go to your
voicemail 15 seconds after an incoming call.

Hi,
I am now receiving skype calls and after maybe 15 or so seconds, skype
hangs
up.
why is this?
This usually does not give me time to run in from the other room to pick
up
the call.
I can go back in to history and call the person back but this takes time.
Is there a setting to stop skype from arbitrarily hanging up on someone
after only a few seconds?
I am using skype 4.1.
