Can't go online with Skype

I'm on a private Wifi network at my work. I have access to the whole internet, including this page that I'm writing on now.
However, starting today, I am unable to go online with Skype. I can login and see which of my contacts are online. But I'm unable to set my own status as Online. In fact, I can't change its status to anything other than Offline.
For the first time this morning, I was prompted to set up Skype Wifi. I don't need that, so I closed that window without setting it up. When I go to that window (command-4), it says I'm not connected to Wifi (although clearly I am, as this published post confirms).

sounds like your firewall or your router or your isp are blocking port 143
as when you access mails over safari it's over port 80 like all www traffic

    Hi,
    Also try turning Off Face Time
    Open Face Time
    Go to the Preferences
    Set it to Off.
    Also make sure your router has the Time and Date/Time Zone set as this upsets Face Time which in turn upsets IChat

  • Can I assign subscriptions with Skype Manager?

    My company wants to implement Skype for cost reducing, but there is an important issue I couldn't find the answer for: can I assign subscriptions with Skype Manager? For example, I buy a 400-minutes subscription and assign this subscription for an user?
    If that is the case, can I take the subscription back from the user and give to someone else, or must I cancel it and buy a new one? And also, if an user is going to make 800 minutes in phone calls, in a land where there isn't a unlimited package, can I buy and assign him two 400 minutes subscriptions, or in fact as many subscriptions as I would like?
    The best solution for me would be to have subscriptions that I can assign to users when they need it, and if in a month they are going to use less minutes, I can take that subscription and give it to another user.
    Alternatively, I could have an account that many users would use, but at the same time and they would make calls at the same moment, and I don't know if Skype allows us to do this, both in computational terms as also in legal terms.
    Does anyone knows the answers to my questions or could give me a suggestion?
    Thank you for you time

    Assigning subscriptions with S.M. is very easy but unfortunately some countries are missing on the list. For example I need to assign a subscription for one of my users registered in SM, which allow make calls to cell phones to Ukraine at lower rates. It's not possible because there is no Ukraine on the drop down list. Could someone explain me why?

  • Can I go online with my ipad using my iphone connection?

    Can I go online with my ipad using my iphone connection?

    If your phone carrier supports it (and it may be an extra fee/subscription), then yes you can use the iPhone's personal hotspot function to share its connection with the iPad - the iPad should see the phone as a wifi network.

  • Can I buy online with a mexican credit card, and pick up my order in store days later?

    Hello,
    I live in Mexico, and i will be in San Diego for vacations next week.
    I would like to buy some things from the apple store online with my mexican credit card,
    so, i need to know if i can buy from here in Mexico with my credit card, and then when i arrive
    to San Diego CA. i can pick-up my order in the Fashion valley Apple Store.
    Can i do it this way? Thank you so much for your help. I will be waiting your answer.
    Greetings,
    Vanessa.

    No. A Mexican credit card will not be accepted in a US store. Even if you place your order in the Mexican online store, the order cannot ship to the US. If your permanent residence is in Mexico, then buy in Mexico where your warranties are honored.

  • After update: can't go online with desktop app

    when I try to work online with y desktop app this window opens up "going online, please wait" - then nothing happens. I already reinstalled Story and Air but the problem still exists. This started after an update a few days ago. Before everything was fine.
    Please help, I have to be able to work offline and then go online to sync my work with others.

    With the latest update of Story, now it will not be possible for you to work in online mode inside AIR application and use the functionality of online-offline syncing of your data, if you are a free Story user. Though you can work in AIR-offline if you are an existing user on that machine. You should receive a message regarding this at the time of login in AIR app.
    So now you can only login to AIR-offline to access your work that is there on your machine while you can use browser app to access your data that is on the cloud.
    Thanks

  • Can FaceTime be used with Skype?

  • Can't get online with Macbook Pro

    I have a Macbook Pro from 2009 and am having trouble connecting to my home network. The desktop PC has internet connection which is how I posted this message, so I am assuming that my home network or the router are not the problems.
    The same problem occured for me earlier yesterday while I was at University but I just assumed that the network was slow on campus. It wasn't until I got hot and couldn't connect to my own network with my Macbook that I became suspicious.
    Can anyone help me with this issue? I've disconnected the router in my basement and reconnected it to ensure it wasn't my network having problems. I've reset Safari and emptied my Cache to determine if that might help. I'm all out of ideas, if anyone has any troubleshooting tips I would greatly appreciate it.
    My agreement for technical support with Apple expired and I would really like to avoid paying $50+ for a 30 day agreement for one problem. Thanks!

    We'll need some more information.
    When you try to connect what are you seeing?
    When you go to Network Settings (System Preferences > Network) what does it report? Does Wi-Fi say Off or On? (This image is from an iMac connected via wire to the network but I wanted to give you an example of the screen).  Does your Wi-Fi say Connected or off?
    Do you see something similar in Wi-Fi as what I have shown below for Ethernet? Basically does your Wi-Fi in "Status" say "Connected. Wi-Fi is currently active and has the IP address xx.xx.xx.xx."?  If it does not then you are not even seeing the Wi-Fi network.

  • I can't get video with Skype. Any solutions?

    I have a new MBP and when calling with skype,  the people on the other end do not get a video picture.  I have gone through the prefernces process to select the camera and have it start when I make a call but to no avail.  Any suggestions?  Face time is not an option since the others do not have mac.  Thanks.

    Ended up resetting the prefences in Skype then closing Skype and reopening it and all is well.  Thanks.

  • Can't get online with 10.4.11?????

    I have a 2.16 GHz Intel iMac and updated to 10.4.11 and now I'm unable to get online w/ mail, safari, itunes, etc. I'm wireless with a Belkin N1 router. My good ol' iBook 10.3.9 is working fine, so I know my modem and router are working. I've read other threads on the topic but I'm still having trouble. Any wise MacGuru out there who can walk me through this?

    Well, I am able to browse the internet again, and actually i still don't know why exactly i wasn't before. The update seems to have fondled a bit with my network settings, the ip-address that I received from my local network had changed to a 192 number while normally this is a 172 number. After updating the network settings (actually nothing has changed, just some back and forth-changing) it got the right ip again and internet worked. I have actually no clue about the reason why it keeps changing ip's. Strange update this 10.4.11. Now I manually have changed my ip-address, hope it keeps working.
