Cannot close skype network connection

i do not appear to be able to close skype's network connection.
i log off from skype yet under control panel/network connections skype connection shows as active and locked, i appear to not have relevant permissions to shut down the connection as it was created by someone other than the admin (me)
im so not happy about the situation that i choise to uninstal skype as a las resort to remove the connection and will not choose to reinstal at any time in the future if this is not resolved.
i see no reason for the connection to remain beyond the operation of the skype programme
can anyone assist with advice on how to close the connection without having to resort to an uninstal?

Check the following to verify your AirPort configuration:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

    I have recently rented a film from itunes for the first time and stopped the download. Every time I now "search for available downloads" - using different wifi networks - I get a message from itunes to say that the network connection was lost. I have tried from home and work and am at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions please?

    Are you sure you are connected to wifi.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Cannot Scan with Network Connected HP Color Laserjet 2840 MFP

    Just acquired Lenovo T530 which comes with Windoze 7 installed.  My SOHO printer is an HP 2840 connected on LAN and I was able to use scanner function without problems from previous laptop running Win XP.
    New laptop total failure as it doesn't see the scanner.  Have spent many hours updating and searching for solutions but without any luck. Quite a few postings on topic come up in Google but no solutions.  HP site useless as the links go in a loop without getting to an answer. 
    As T530 is brand new and under warranty I had assumed I would be able to ask Lenovo for help but cannot find how.
    Meanwhile if anybody has solution please help. 
    Budgie_one

    Hi Budgie_one, a late welcome to the forum,
    I have the same problem with my HP CM1017 colour laserjet multi-function, worked brilliant with XP but unfortunately HP never brought out scanner drivers to work with Win7, printing was all Ok.
    I spent ages searching the HP forums where the proposed solution was to install the drivers in compatability mode, which never worked for me, so I gave up and ended up installing the thing in Win7 XP mode.  If I need to scan I just start the XP mode and all works as planned.

  • Powerbook cannot find wired network connected HP Photosmart C7280

    OK, I'm sure this must be a common problem, but just in case anyone has any ideas, here goes.
    Downloaded the latest HP software for C7280 for Leopard and it will not see the C7280 which is networked. All other computers (2 windows XP and 1 OSX 10.4.11) work fine. I can ping the C7280, but it will not find it either using the HP software OR the add printer option under system preferences. I have uninstalled twice and downloaded twice. I also reset the printer settings. Absolutely nothing works to get this printer going. I realize this is Beta software, but you would expect it to at least be able to find the printer! Why would HP do this???
    OK, enough rant. Anybody have any solutions?? Thanks.

  • "Check Network Connection​" - What Exactly Does the TV Check?

    Hi everyone
    May I please ask, what exactly does the TV check when I choose "check network connection"?
    In other words, when I click the "check network connection", what IP address / servers and ports does it communicate to? What checks does it do?
    Because my TV cannot establish a network connection via settings, but the browser works perfectly well,
    I would like to carry out the same checks of "check network connection" on my PC.
    Then, if failed also on my PC, I would turn to my ISP with the results, as I believe it is the one to fault.

    Assuming you're referring to the Airport icon in the menu bar, 'clear/empty' means Airport is turned off, gray bars means Airport is on but not connected to a network, and black bars means Airport is on and connected to a network. Other possible icon states are solid gray with a little computer inset, meaning you're connected to a computer-to-computer created on the Mac, and gray bars with an exclamation point (10.6 only), meaning connected to a network but not authenticated (e.g. wrong password for an 801.2X corporate/university network).
    To your question, it's perfectly possible to be successfully connected to a network (black icon) and unable to access the internet. Situations like that would include the network requiring a proxy server, for which you haven't set up the details on in Network Preferences, or you're connected to an open network that requires you to enter information or agree to terms (e.g. a hotel network, where you need to put in your room number and agree to the charges before you can connect to the internet).

  • PowerPoint - Present Online - Error starting online presentation - Cannot connect to this service. Check your network connection and try again.

    "Present Online
    Error starting online presentation
    Cannot connect to this service. Check your network connection and try again."
    On March 31, we starting experiencing this issue across our entire domain. We have not made any changes to our network configuration. We are using the same ISP, routing hardware, computer hardware, software versions and group policy settings as we were on March
    30.
    The issue appears to be related to network connectivity. 
    Here is what I have found so far:
    We have three networks in our building and two ISPs.
    Network-A uses ISP-A and is affected by the issue. Network-A is our corporate domain.
    Network-B uses ISP-B and is affected by the issue.
    Network-C uses ISP-B and is not affected by the issue.
    If I take a Network-A domain member and launch PowerPoint while connected to Network-A and ISP-A I am unable to upload PowerPoint presentations. 
    If I connect the same computer to Network-C, the issue persists.
    If I close PowerPoint, connect to Network-C, and reopen PowerPoint while connected to Network-C, I am able to upload presentations.
    A non-domain computer is affected by the issue if PowerPoint is opened while connected to Network-A or Network-B, but unaffected if PowerPoint is launched while connected to Network-C. Again, in this scenario, switching connections while PowerPoint is open
    has no effect.
    The issue appears to be caused during PowerPoint start-up and not while attempting to share a document.
    Microsoft is either unwilling or unable to find a resolution and has finally resorted to simply ignoring my calls, voicemails, emails, and ticket requests regarding this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is a brief description of our configuration and what I have tried so far.

  • Hotspot login cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. Why?

    Everyttime I try to connect to the wifi, all I get is about a second of the phone saying it is connected, before I get a login page, with the web adress of "captive.apple.com".
    The login page is black, and after about a second I get the message,
    "Error Opening Page: Hotspot login cannot open the page because the network connection was lost"
    I've tried restarting the phone, resetting the network data, everytihng I can think of but no luck.
    How can I fix this?

    Good day everybody. I had the same issue and I got crazy but keep up work on it about 1 week to have the resolution.
    Here is the simple steps to overcome this problem:
    1. Choose your Wifi and get connected
    2. On Wifi page at the bottom Turn On 'Ask to Join Networks'
    3. Connect to your Wifi,
    4. After connecting, you will see a blue next to your selected Wifi
    5. Press the blue and get into the connection detail of your wifi
    6. Turn on Auto-Join
    7. Turn Off Auto-Login
    8. Close settings
    9. Go to Safari log with Hotel, Business wifi page
    Trick is the Auto-Login must be turned off

  • Cannot connect to the iTunes store. The network connection was reset.

    My iTunes has been messed up since August 17th. I am getting the error message; "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I am having no issues connecting to the internet or even receiving my podcasts. It just won't download my TV shows or let me shop. I have contacted Hewlett Pack. about this and iTunes/apple. No one seems to have an answer for me. I have disabled my firewalls, norton, done msconfig, allowed iTunes, everything. I am very frustrated and so are others that seem to be having this same problem. We need a genius!! Please help!

    I suspect a location-driven problem here. I live in SHanghai, China - as does the poster above! I have this problem on three different computers using three different ISPs.
    Anybody got a suggestion? Tried firewalls, turning off virus production, reinstalling iTunes, putting phobos.apple.com and such in the permitted list, all sorts of stuff, to no avail. And Apple help support just bounces me around - I've interacted via email with three people, finally graduated to a real person, and they sent me back to email when the usual "reboot your machine and reinstall iTunes, then turn off virus protection" didn't work.
