Hi, is one of the ports Skype uses blocked by some firewall? If so, then either unblock the port(s), or change the port Skype use to "listen" to a higher number, preferably a 5 digit number. You can do this, both online and offline, by pressing alt t to open the tools menu, then press o to open the options dialogue box. Once you've made the change, tab to save button, activate it, and try connecting again. I've had no connectivity issues with Skype since I moved to broadband the other day. Good luck.
