My Skype is disconnecting constantly

My Skype keeps disconnecting for short amounts of time (like maybe 30 seconds) and then reconnects. It does this constantly though. It happens at least every 5 minutes (sometimes even every 2 minutes) when it is at its worst. I have tried searching for an answer but nothing seems to be working. I reinstalled skype and it still happens. It could be my internet but while my Skype is open and i am in a call, any games, videos, webpages etc. do not lose internet connection when Skype does. Also, sometimes after disconnecting and reconnecting a few times it will force me to hang up and sometimes I will not be able to rejoin any calls until I logout then log back into skype. Please help. Thanks in advance for any help.

Mac OSX 10.8.5
Internet Connection: 60 Mbps Down/ 5 Mbps Up
Skype Version: 6.15 (355)
Via Wireless Connection:
I am looking at the Skype Preferences:
Advanced Settings:
Incoming connection port: 52743
Could this be the culprit:
Going to search Voice Over I P (VOIP) and incoming port and see if 
something comes up.

    Hi, Psalamon, and welcome to the Community,
    Please contact customer service to request assistance with this. 
    Also, when you say, "My skype number is constantly busy when I am called (and I am not using it!),"
    ... please note that the Skype Number will not "ring busy" - if you are using Skype, incoming calls would be diverted according to your Tools -> Options settings.  The Skype Number provides a phone number for people to reach you, but the number has nothing to do with outbound calls you place.
    Hope this makes sense!

  • Skype Calls disconnect my internet.

     Hello, 
    I'm having a really annoying problem here. Skype calls disconnect my internet at random intervals. It ONLY happens when I am in a Skype CALL. I could be gaming, or just minding my own business (staring at my desktop) and it will happen. I've tried several solutions but none of them seem to work. I've disabled uPnP.
    I've used a port anywhere between 1000 and 65000.
    I've checked and uncheck the "Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections" multiple times. It never works.
    Usually what I do is disconnect my computer from the router, and then reconnect it quickly, and it sets everything back to normal. (Normal internet connection). However, if I dont do that my internet will just stay disconnected for an extended period of time. (1-5 minutes, 5 being the longest I've experienced).
    I run on Windows 7.
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials.
    My Skype version is 6.21.0.104
    Please let me know if you need anymore information to solve my problem.

    That sounds like an issue with your router.  Try bypassing your router to see what happens.  If you router has any firmware updates available, apply them.

    Hi, GAinPA, and welcome to the Community,
    You would need to contact Skype Customer Service directly to enquire.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
    If you are a Skype Premium or other eligible customer, you will be routed to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.

  • Skype/Facetime disconnecting my wifi?

    Skype/Facetime has always been working without any problems for me until yesterday (Mon, Feb 18 2013). Every time I'm using Skype or Facetime and I'm connected into a call, it works for a good 5 minutes or so and suddenly disconnects me on Skype & puts me offline & when it does that, it also disconnects my connection. I'm using a WIFI connection on my macbook pro but it's a locked one with a security password so only me & my family have access to this connection. I've tried checking if it was my WIFI that was causing this problem but my WIFI seem's to be perfectly fine. I'm able to use Safari or any other applications without any disconnecting problems, but when it comes to Skype/Facetime, 5 minutes into a video call, it ends the call and disconnects my wifi and I have to restart my macbook in order to make the connection work again but if I go back on Skype/Facetime, it disconnects again. I've tried updating my software and the applications and it still has the same problems.. Can anyone help me please?

    I cannot currently connect to my Hub with an ethernet cable as my computer is upstairs. I do not understand how I never had this problem when I was on a 2mb download speed connection with Sky but now I have this problem on a 20mb download speed connection with BT.
    Is there anything else I can do to solve this problem, I have tried turning my hub off and on but that doesn't seem to work? Would you recommend trying the reset button to make the hub default back to factory settings? I wasnt sure whether to try this since it sounded a bit scary and I didn't want to mess things up more.
    Also while I'm here, how would I go about have an ethernet cable port put in my bedroom? Could I get an electriction to do this or would I have to get a BT Engineer to come and install me one as that would be the only way I could get a wired connection from the living room downstairs where my hub is to my bedroom upstairs?

  • 10.9.2 VPN disconnects constantly

    I updated from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2 and ever since I did, VPN loses connectivity constantly. It says that it's still connected, but the traffic through the VPN fails. I lose connectivity to the file server and I can't access websites on the same IP cluster as the file server. I have to disconnect the VPN service and reconnect about 8 times a day.
    I thought that 10.9.2 was supposed to solve VPN problems, not cause them. Any ideas?
    One additional note: VPN on Windows on the same local area network does not have this problem.
    Message was edited by: transfigure

    Nobody has any ideas on this?
    One other piece of information: In the Network system preferences, I can't access the Advanced options for VPN. When I click the Advanced... button, it just gives me two options: DNS and Proxies. None of the settings shown in Apple's support document are available:

  • Skype keeps disconnecting me on every platform

    I have the latest version on Windows, Mac, and iOS.
    I reset my password, disabled Antivirus and Firewall, tried from different locations, and still can't login.
    It logs and disconnects me right away, the password I'm typing is correct, and it was working fine until about a week ago. How can I solve this?
    Thanks.

  • Skype Keeps disconnecting and Re-connecting

    HI There,  since last week my skype, and a couple of my skype contacts have been experiencing the same problem. Skype will stay connected for a while in the morning and then it will will start disconnecting and showing you as offline. If you whach it, you can actually see it disconnecting, looking for a connection and then connects again for a couple of seconds.  I though it was the version that I'm running so upgraded and currently running on version:5.5.0.113 but this has not changed anything. To rule out my company network I tested this at home on my home network with both my Laptop and my Pc and the result is the same.  What could it be? and how do we get arround this?

    Are you using a wireless network nearby other possible wireless networks, like near or in an apartment/condo like building that might be on your same wireless channel? If so, please see this free program that can tell you if this is causing you issues as well. http://virtualtelephoneservices.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8 If this is a laptop/notebook, it could be overheating, during long video calls, this free program can tell you if this is the case. http://almico.com/speedfan.php

  • Being in one on one skype calls disconnects my int...

    When im using skype and when im hosting a call my internet keeps disconnecting every few minutes. My internet is fine when not hosting a call or in a group call when someone else is hosting. this problem is occurring for 2 months now and before i was always the guy to host calls. I have tried the standard things like: Use port 80 and 443 and disable upnp. Im really annoyed.

    That sounds like an issue with your router.  Try bypassing your router to see what happens.  If you router has any firmware updates available, apply them.

  • Skype calls disconnection

    Dear all,
    I purchased skype voip services, and trying to call pakistan from saudi arabia, but during last 4 days my all calls about 30-40 calls disconnect after 1 or one and half minutes. I am using nexus 4 android 4.4.4 and skype latest version. Also skype is not blocked in saudia arabia. Also i tried to make a call from my laptop but same issue. Is there any skype customer support number or email who can check my account and solve this issue

    I have the same problem with Skype calls from Saudi Arabia to landlines.  Strangely, when I call from Saudi to the U.K. or Saudi to Switzerland I get clean, uninterupted phone calls.  When I call Saudi to the United States the calls are disconnected after a bit more than one minute.  I suspect the local telecom is doing this to discourage Skype users.  Does anyone have the same experience making Skype calls from the Kingdom?

    Ahh, so after some further reading in the Safari Support Forums, I have found that many other Windows based users have the same problem.
    It seems that it worked when it was beta at version 3.04
    Funny thing is, i just did the same thing again, uninstalled 3.1.1, deleted everything to do with apple, and defraged. I then found a download for 3.04, and not only did it crash, I couldn't even open a page like I could before.
    This is ridiculous!

  • Skype Mobile disconnecting since 2.3.3

    Skype Mobile has always been a little flakey around the edges, but in general works as long as wifi is not enabled and 3G is strong. Since my Droid X upgraded to Android 2.3.3 five days ago I have noticed that Skype Mobile keeps signing out - basically going into the same state as when there is no signal. Even though the app shows on the notification bar, when I launch it, it goes through the auto log in sequence, connecting, etc. Other times I find it "reconnecting".
    My wild guess was this is to do with Android 2.3.3 battery management where it "sleeps" the phone more than the previous version, but it is happening when the phone is on charge too.
    I'd be way happier to use the Android Skype app, but it doesn’t support Bluetooth so is not practical when driving
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks, that's a fairly accurate description, and you don't need to have any real traffic on the phone to get the effect, it'll happen just sitting there with all the bars on 3G.. I should have been more clear, Skype Mobile worked fine (as long as I didn't start a wifi connection with weak 3G) on the Droid X for months. I've spent hours driving and chatting, but after the Android 2.3.3 upgrade about 2 weeks ago it is logging out, shows me offline, etc, pop the app and it logs in again.
    One of the confusing things is that it does it on charge and if I set the battery to full power too..
    So, I think there's an issue with the current version of Skype Mobile and Android 2.3.3, might be worth the VZW support people taking a look at it
    btw for those who think skype is all video, not so, it works pretty well for international calls, and the cool thing about the mobile version is it will work through a bluetooth headset, very handy for driving
