Hello,
I have the same problem. I downloaded Skype 4 today now can't connect. The only message that comes up says 'can't connect'. I've not had a problem with skype until now. What's going on - anyone know?

Thanks

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.11

Hello,

This is may be because your firewall is blocking skype connections!
Go to Control Panel then open Windows Firewall, Just click on the exception tab and try to see if you can locate skype there! If not browse to add skype.exe in the exception list!


C:\Program Files\Skype\
