Tony,
Thank you very much.
I have checked and rechecked everything that you suggested and it still
doesn't help my situation. Also Firefox cannot connect to the internet, and
I also installed Opera just to check, which also cannot get a connection. At
the moment I am seriously considering re-installing the whole computer and
wiping the hard drive clean. Do you have any other suggestions that I can
try to help me solve this problem?
I have included my config.sys path for you if that would help you in any
way.
PATH
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\Program

Most likely - some conflict with applications working on
port 80/443 How to solve this problem?
I've written software that interfaces Skype to MV DBMS apps (IVR
inbound/outbound calls, and bots that process chat requests) and I've
never
seen a conflict. I'm pretty familiar with how Skype works and I can't
think of any socket or DLL conflicts... however...
UVPE might have updated the PATH environment variable in a way that a UV
version of some DLL is found before the version that Skype needs. I don't
know what you installed but right click on your My Computer icon, then
Properties, Advanced, then Environment Variables. Focus on the "Path"
System variable and click Edit. Copy the value to Wordpad so that you can
see the whole string. (Save the string somewhere in case you need to
recover.) Make sure that the following two strings are at the end, not
the
beginning:
;C:\Program Files\IBM\UniDK\redist\i386\register
;C:\Program Files\IBM\UniDK\redist\i386\shared
Be sure to use the semicolon to delimit all values. If those paths are
not
already there, don't add them, just move them if they are there. Reboot
after saving back to the Edit box.
If that works and then Universe doesn't work, then you have a DLL
conflict.
Notify IBM and please let us know here too. (And welcome to DLL Hell!)
I don't thinkk this is an issue but if you're running Windows Firewall, be
sure Skype is listed as an Exception. The path is probably:
C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe
Here's another test: Goto Services and stop the UniVerse Telnet Service.
If Skype suddenly starts working then I'd guess you have a bit of software
on your system that you don't know about which has opened a telnet server
attached to Skype (as in "malware"). Open Skype, go to Tools, Options,
Advanced, and way down at the bottom select "Manage other programs' access
to Skype". If you don't see something you recognize, remove it, but I'd
check the Skype forum first to see if it's something common and benign.
