Glenn On the Skype out problem, this is almost certainly a call signalling problem. The gateway Sykpe is using to connect to the public network is not recognising the answer signal from you office service provider or not sending the answer signal to your software. Given you don't have problems on other calls, it's probably the former.
So, probably nothing you can do. This sort of thing can also happen intermittently because Skype will almost certainly use a mixture of different carriers in whatever country they interconnect with the public telephone network. There may be an incompatibility between the carrier your work uses and the one of the carriers Skype uses. So, I'm betting your work uses a carrier other than Telstra. Hope that helps.
