I can't connect with Skype on any of my laptops - SOLVED!!!

Last edited Sun Jun 19, 2022, 02:24 PM - Edit history (1)

I have three laptops... all can connect to the internet and all my favorite sites... except Skype. One of the laptops is brand new.

Any ideas?

(Turns out I needed a new router)

Sounds like a security software/firewall issue to me. Check your settings for whatever you are using hlthe2b Jun 2022 #6

Could it be a router issue?

I'm kinda desperate to get this working so I can talk to my Mom who has progressive dementia... skype not working is really, really confusing her.
