I've also found Skype to be a bit dodgy under Linux. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When I really need to use it, I boot up WinXP on my laptop and it works fine. As Karanbir noted, they don't seem to really care what happens on the Linux front so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for any fixes if it turns out to be a version-specific issue. If it's just a matter of tweaking your firewall, consider yourself lucky. Cheers,
