Skype cannot connect. (Windows XP, Skype version 3...

Hi there,
Since yesterday I can not connect to my account. I've also tried on three different PCs at home and tried to connect to couple of different accounts. Probably issue with my internet supplier, but I've decided to search for help here at first. How should I proceed from now on? 
Thank you!

Not known any alternatives yet. Goolge+ has some sort of function for real time videocalls, which runs on browser, without need to install anything on the background. But it's not same as Skype and it doesn't support wireless handsets.
I think there's a lack of fast working instant messenger for now. Some skilled programmers could create new P2P instant messenger to replace Skype.
Here's some ideas for it (anyone can feel free to use them):
- Open source
- Written in C or some other goor programming language that creates native code, and can be ported to any platform. Native code means, that it will run FAST, with minimum amount of memory needed to do things (that's 100% opposite of the principle of current Skype versions).
- De-centralized P2P network architecture which is not owned by anyone and which cannot be sold to Microsoft or other companies (which will just spoil the product, like happened with Skype). Little bit like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, which do not have any "central" organization behind them and the product kind of "lives" in the network, when each node will help to keep it living.
- End-to-end encryption of all communications, with traffic routing thru many nodes (just like tor nework). No goverment / NSA backdoors included.
Let's hope that we will see something like this in some day...

    Hi,
    From the 10.1.2 BI Beans Install Guide it says:
    OracleBI Beans supports data stored in Oracle9i Enterprise Edition or Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition. However, only particular releases and patchsets are supported:
    * Oracle9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, as follows:
    o 9.2.0.6 for all platforms.
    o 9.2.0.5 with the latest OLAP patch for Windows-only.
    * Oracle Database 10g Release 1 Enterprise Edition with the latest OLAP patch.
    From the error message it would appear that the Database is not one of the above.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Please note that we have follwing versions of DB up and running:-
    1)Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production
    With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
    2)Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
    With the Partitioning and Real Application Clusters options
    JServer Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
    Pls let us know the solution to resolve this problem ASAP.
    Thanks.

    You are not using a supported version of the database. BI Beans/OLAP only support the following database versions:
    10g - 10.1.0.3 with additional OLAP patch
    9i - 9205 with additional OLAP patch
    9i - 9206
    I would suggest that you have not applied all the required database patches to your instance.
    Hope this helps

  • Skype Cannot Connect Issues?

    since updating to the 6.2 skype, im unable to use skype,
    after i sign in, it appears as it would be signing in, but this loading screen takes alot longer then usual, (around 1/2 minutes) then it would cancel my sign in with the comment ( ! Skype can't connect)
    before updating skype, it was working fine,
    to try to fix this I have done all the following:
    restart/shutdown, given time just incase it was maintence problem
    reinstalled/uninstalled
    (would of downloaded a previous version but they have discontinued them) so this is a no
    deleted share.xml file
    changed advanced connection options
    all these are done, and not a change in where the "skype can't connect" is different
    HELP!!
    windows vista
    skype 6.2 (not working as mentioned above)
    internet connection just fine
    prior from last to 6.2 versions, only the 6.2 update is the only thing i have changed in where im getting this error
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In case you have leftover proxy/policy settings for Skype in you registry you can run this to purge them.  I would recommend exiting Skype completely, running the program then restarting Skype.  All this program does is delete the registry keys then immediately exits.

    If nothing changes, then the problem lies elsewhere.

  • Skype for Modern Windows and Skype for Windows Desktop on a tablet???

    Hi All. I am a newby here so please be patient I have a 6 month old Toshiba Encore that comes installed with "Skype for Modern Windows". When I opened Skype today I received an advice/advert saying that this service will cease July 7 and I should uninstall and update to "Skype for Windows Desktop". News flash.... I have a tablet and it is telling me to install a Desktop version? Is this correct, dispite that my device is a (Windows 8.1) OS tablet, am I still required to make the conversion? Any advice most appreciated.  

    And just in case your next question is "Why". I am just a user like you so no inside knowledge but from what I have read it is partly down to the "Modern" version actually being based on "Old" tech, so it couldn't intergrate with the cloud based future of Skype and partly down to it isn't probably worth fixing (It had a lot of issues that I could see). Unfortunatly for some it is a bit inconvenient that it's being killed off before Windows 10 is released. The one thing I liked about the "Modern" version was the intergration with for example your contacts in the people app, but if you uninstall (Or when it gets killed off in a couple of weeks) you lose that intergration. I know you still have it in Outlook with intergration for the desktop version but to be honest Outlook isn't great on a seven inch tablet either. From my understanding when 10 is finally here and Skype catches up there will be full Skype intergration with your contacts again (Although I could be wrong and that is for the WP). Anyway, I for one would love MS to consider the universal app idea based on the WP version for smaller or all tablets. Maybe someone from Skype will reply?

  • Cannot connect Windows 7 Partition to Internet

    I have a MacBook Pro, I used BootCamp to partition for Windows 7. It loaded up and works fine however I cannot connect to the Internet when using Windows. I can see that the WiFi is connected but it asks for a WEP or WPA Security Code. Don't remember what that is...does anyone know how to find it?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    WEP and WPA security codes are stored in the WiFi router you use and can only be changed in there.
    Refer to the router manual for how-to do this.

  • "Skype cannot connect"

    Hi there, I'm reverting to an older version of the skype client due to the fact that the ability to block people in group conversations was removed, along with conversation topic pictures.
    I have an offline installer for the version of the client that I need, but despite uninstalling the up to date, but heavily downgraded version, all my settings seem to stick when I try to install the version I need.
    I suspect this is why I can't sign into the skype servers, and I can't help but notice that the support page, which has EXACTLY the information I need, is down, and has been for several days.
    As such, can anyone here tell me how to totally wipe Skype off of my system? I want it gone, nuked, vaporised, blasted to smithreens, I want nothing left so I can re-install my chosen version.
    I'd be unspeakably grateful for any help.

    Okay, slight digression, but why in the name of all that's bloody holy was this removed, that's like selling a car after smashing the windows and scoring the paintwork. What the fu - Why would you do that?
    What do you possibly gain from removing important features?
    So, just to clarify, there's no way I can have a working version that allows me to block people in group convos without some kind of third party thing?

  • Cannot connect Windows 7 laptop to USB HDD attached to Airport Extreme

    I would appreciate anyone's help regarding the following issue. The situation is as follows:
    Laptop with Windows 7 installed
    Laptop connects to Airport Extreme (5th generation) through Wifi
    An external HDD (WD Elements 1TB) is attached to the Airport Extreme's USB
    The external HDD is visible in Airport Utility and should work fine, as far as the Airport Utility is concerned
    The external HDD is also visible in Windows Explorer and works fine when I attach it directly to the laptop's USB
    However, I cannot access the HDD from my laptop when it's connected to the Airport Extreme's USB
    I've followed all the steps described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1331 for mapping a network drive, so I've done the following:
    I opened "Map Network Drive"
    I selected an unused drive letter
    I checked the Airport Extreme for the correct IP address (in my case: 10.0.1.1) and the HDD for its correct name (in my case called: "Backup")
    I entered the correct path to the drive, using the above IP address and HDD's name
    After doing all this, I keep receiving the following error message: "Windows cannot access \\10.0.1.1\Backup. Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try and identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose."
    Details of the error message are as follows: "Error code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found."
    When I select "Diagnose", Windows indicates that the external device or the external source does not accept the connection.
    Access to the Airport Extreme is password protected. Same for the HDD. However, Windows does not prompt me to give the username and password, which might be causing the problem.
    Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    If you are connected by wireless.. it is actually wireless that is the problem.
    30MB file (please try and use b for bits and B for Bytes.. )
    that works out around 300Mb (with overheads).
    That is 60Mbit/s average speed.. and for wireless I would say that is pretty good. (Real world transfer speed you can expect 1/2-1/4 of link speed.. and tending to the lower end of that. )
    Plug the computer in by ethernet and get a speed for transfer of a single large file.. try something of the 1GB sort of size. A movie file for instance works fine.
    Ethernet should be faster than any other step in the process.. assuming gigabit of course.. and that will then give you the upper limit speed.. but I would expect around 10MB/s max speed and maybe a bit less than that. USB on a router is choked because it is processor intensive. Most routers only manage that speed and sometimes a lot less.
    Wireless on 5ghz band is faster than 2.4ghz if you are up close. It is worthwhile forcing the 5ghz connection if you want better wireless speed.

  • Cannot connect to DB with version 2.1

  • E7-00: Cannot connect to Facebook with Social Apps...

    My setup:
    Nokia E7-00 PR1.1
    SW version: 014.002
    Social Apps 1.3.215
    Dear all,
    with my Nokia E7-00 I cannot connect via the newest version of Social Apps with Facebook. Every time I try to enter my details for my facebook account, the program returns "login or password incorrect" (correct wording in English unknow to me as I use the German version).
    But, my password is correct. I am sure about this because every time I try to login with Social Apps, I receive an email from Facebook saying "someone logged into Facebook via Ovi by Nokia from an unknown device".
    Further interesting issue: If I enter the details for another Facebook account owned by my wife, I can connect without any problem.
    That means to me that my specific account (a pretty old one (5 years)) seems to be not the right one for Nokia's Social App.
    With my Android phone I can use the built-in Facebook app without any problem.
    Any ideas as to what might cause this? Re- and re-re-installing the Social App does not help.
    Thanks for any advice!

    Thanks to the user Wiseorfool, his solution is:

    I found the solution for this problem.
    The application platform should be enabled in the facebook account as Ovi by Nokia is one of them.
    I had it disabled for reducing spams.
    In your Facebook account, Go to
    Account
    Privacy Settings
    Edit your Settings under "Apps and Websites" at lower left corner
    Click Turn on all platform apps.
    Then your facebook will login under Social Networking Client provided by Nokia without "Invalid username or password. Tip. Password is case sensitive."
    I created a new facebook account and it logged in the very first time and i knew it must have been the account security or application platform. The latter was the one. <
    Happy Networking!!!"

    When checking messages it is the normal message that it cannot connect to the server.
