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.

Skype keeps disconnecting my internet.

Hello I recently just moved house and acquired BT Infinity 2. Ever since moving house and Internet provider joining skype calls keeps disconnecting my connection. I am currently on a wireless connection and have had BT Infinity since Thursday the 13th of February. If anyone could please help me I would be really happy.
Thanks, Simon.

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?

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?

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.

Skype calls kill my internet connection.

Hello,
Not sure this is the right area or not but this issue is becomming kind of fustrating.
Recently I got a new modem (also upgraded mac os though I doubt thats connected); now whenever I start a call on skype it goes okay for a few seconds, then quality drops, then I all together lose connection to skype. Then after a few moments the connection to my modem itself is unresponsive and I find the only thing I can do is restart it and wait a few moments.
This only happens with Skype however, not with online gaming, youtube/movies ect.
Does anyone have any advice or ideas? Can't really use skype anymore...

Connectivity issues like that sounds like a network issue to me.
First, learn to use Skype's Technical Call Information window
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11066/is-my-call-being-relayed-in-skype-for-mac-os-x
While in calls keep an eye on that window while it does display some cryptic looking error messages those error messages relayed here on the board can be helpful in identifying your problems.
Second test your network connection with a free tool from MegaPath. Critically network speed is far from the only metric. Latency, Jitter, and loss are very important for any RTC ( Real Time Communication ) via the Internet.
http://www.megapath.com/speedtestplus/
Have you seen all the different things that can interfere with WiFi? Baby monitors, cordless phones, you call phone, wireless speakers, your microwave, cables etc, etc, etc.
If your having trouble with Skype grab a LAN cable and plug it directly into your router and try again. Eliminating the wifi network from your list of trouble suspects should the FIRST step in halving your trouble.

Skype & Nicecast disconnecting, but internet, mail, and IM work fine?!

Hello Everyone,
First let me start off by saying I've had this problem 5 days now. And it's getting rather annoying. The problem I've been having is that while talking on skype, it will completely drop the connection, at completely random times. Additionally, when I'm broadcasting on Nicecast for my internet radio station, it will tell me the connection failed. However, mail hasn't had problems, safari works fine, and other IM programs work well (yahoo, AIM, MSN, etc). I've spoken with Comcast, and it's not my internet connection, I've re-installed both programs, that didn't fix it either! I don't know what to do at this point, I'm completely dumbfounded as to what could be wrong.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

We have a mixed wireless connection. Connecting via Ethernet cord fixed problem... but I don't want to be wired in

Hello,
1. Yes. Subscriptions work from anywhere worldwide provided you have a high speed internet connection.
2. Yes you can.

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Skype calls to pc drop pc's connection to internet

When in a skype call the connection between my computer and the interent will dissapear interupting the call. It does not seem to restart the router or even disconnect the computer from the router as all pther internet using devices remain fully opperational. The internet will remain unaccessable from this pc for as long as the call is attempting to reconnect OR untill I disconnect from the router and reconnect again.
As you can guess this gets frustraiting when you're trying to skype your girlfriend who's half a country away nad keep having to re-connect the call every 5 minutes at best.
The problem does not seem to be with the router as it is fine from all other devices including my android phone and several other windows laptops. It is also present on (assumingly) all networks including the D-Link router in use at home, the Virgin media Super hub I use at my uni house and on an ethernet connection I had in halls last year.
I will work on getting logs uploaded ASAP, however as it is currently late I don't really want to go ringing people to wait for the call to drop at some random point. I am also happy to provide any additional information which may be required to diagnose the issue, for starters here is the log from when I ran the network connectivity troubleshooter last time it disconnected in this way: http://pastebin.com/2zi99XyY
Thank you for any help you can provide,

UWGreat ! Glad for you and your friend that the issue has been resolved. Enjoy Skyping !

Skype Calls randomly disconnecting my entire lapto...

Hi all,
I've been having a problem with my Lenovo Yoga 11s and skype calls. I'm able to have a solid connection to skype and send messages but whenever I call, it's inevitable that the skype call ends up crashing/lagging until the call drops. This also results in a loss of internet for my entire laptop. I've also tried this on another wireless internet connection and got the same results. Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried a clean reinstall and downgrading to older versions but it's been no help. The calls can last from 2 minutes to 28 minutes before they disconnect.
Also, I never had this issue on my previous laptop (that also connected to this same internet connection) so I'm thinking my internet must be fine. My brother can skype without a problem, it seems to be an isolated problem.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I use my Window Surface to connect my skype by wifi but It can not now I do not know. Althougth I reset my Surface

Internet not working while on skype call

Greetings everyone
I'm having this..specific problem for the past few days during Skype calls. Whenever I'm in a call with my friends, my intertnet completely stops working. I'm unable to browse it at all, as well as send and receive messages on Skype. Voice communication works fine, however, nothing else works properly. Or at all.
I've tried to change my DNS to the google public dns, and that didn't help at all. I also tried to manually set up my connection, rather than automatic - didn't help either. I messed around with some Skype options as well and nope, didn't help either. I've also tried flushing the dns and all of that it didn't help.
This ONLY happens when I'm in a Skype call - as soon as I turn off the skype call everything works as it's supposed to work..however, once I get back into the call it stops working, which is a big problem for me.
I also tried to disable my AVG AV and it didn't help either..Skype is also added in firewall as well.
I honestly have no idea what to do anymore regarding this.
Any help would be appreciated.

If your celluar carrier is using CDMA cellular technology (for example: Sprint, Verizon), then on 3G networks CDMA cannot "Walk and Chew Gum" at the same time. I am not sure at LTE for CDMA carriers. If you your cellular carrier is using GSM (AT&T, T-Moble, and most, but not all, carriers outside the US), then you should be able to use data and voice at the same time.

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

I am looking at the Skype Preferences:

Could this be the culprit:
Going to search Voice Over I P (VOIP) and incoming port and see if
something comes up.

Skype constantly disconnecting and muting others' voices

I'm on Windows 8.1, and am running the most current version of Skype.Despite this, in the past couple of days alone, Skype has started acting up. I will go on skype, it will load every message just fine, I can join calls, I can talk and be heard, video works fine both ways, and I can message... Just that I can't hear what anybody in a call is saying. I can hear the notifications and the test sound, but not my friends' voices. What's more perplexing is that after 10 minutes or so I can start hearing them. Which brings me to the second problem... I only have so much time before skype disconnects me. I have been constantly disconnected from Skype despite a continuous internet connection. Somebody please help!

Make a direct connection from your PC/laptopto the modem which will eliminate the homehub. Follow this guide to do that. Use your computer as normal to see if it disconnects. If it does not disconnect you will know that there is nothing wrong with your line/connection and it may be a faulty hub . Obviously this must be done with a wired connection and no wireless devices will work while you are doing that.
Step 1: Remove the homehub from the modem
Step2: Connect your pc/laptop into the modem using LAN1 port
Step3: Open network and sharing centre on windows and click set up a new connection or network
Step4: Connect to the internet then click make a new connection Broadband PPPoE
Step5: Username [email protected] and the password as BT
Step6: connect, If it doesn't,keep pressing try again until it does.

NO SOUND ON DV6, BUT STRANGELY WORKS WHEN SKYPE CALLS ARE ON

Hi,
I have gone tried many of the things that were provided in these forums but nothing has helped so far. There is no playback from the speakers, so I assumed the speakers were dead and started using external speakers, but strangely the playback started working when I made a skype call.
Any sounds played from media players, websites or any other source work properly when a skype call is being made.
As soon as the call is disconnected, everything stops.
What is the skype call triggering that enables the audio to play.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled IDT drivers, tried all sorts of configuration settings, but nothing has worked so far.
What is the problem here and how can it be fixed???
Please help!!

While in a Skype call in Windows 8, the volume of other sounds lowers

Hi everyone,
I am reposting an issue ride is experiencing when using Skype in Windows 8. Ride writes:
I am having a problem when using Skype as well. While taking a Skype call, sounds on other programs are lowered in volume. I have selected "do nothing" in the sound card communications settings section, but the problem still persists. Is there any way to fix this? I am using windows 8 with a Compaq CQ45 computer.
Hi ride,
I've noticed that the Skype app on the Windows 8 Start screen does not do all the things that the desktop version of Skype for Windows 8 does. I heartily recommend installing the desktop version of Skype, as well as the Start screen app, and logging in to both. That way you'll still get updates in your live tile on the Start screen, and you will still be able to get voice messages on your desktop version of Skype. It's the best of both worlds.
I managed to listen to an online radio station full blast while making a Skype call. Here's what I did:
First, I installed both the Skype app and the desktop version of Skype for Windows 8 (get the directions in the Installing and setting up Skype for Windows 8 and the Installing and setting up Skype for Windows desktop sections of the Using Skype to Make Voice and Video Internet Calls (Windows 8) document.)
Then, like you, I selected the Do nothing radio button on the Communications tab of Sound menu (press the Windows + W keys; type Sound into the search field; and then click Sound in the search results.) I then restarted my computer.
I made a Skype call using the desktop version, and then made a new Skype call from the Start menu app. That's when I started noticing that the volume of the radio station was not reduced. Also, when a friend sent an instant message, I heard the little ping sound full blast.
I'm not entirely sure why that all worked, but it did, and I hope it works for you, too. Will you reply to this post to let me know if it helps you?
