Hi, Skype has an option to listen on tcp/80 and tcp/443 for incoming connections, because it assumes somehow that firewalls will be configured to allow that traffic in (some Windowze world assumption, i guess). In the tools menu, go to Options, Advanced, untick the option that reads "Use port (sic) 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections". Apply, exit skype, restart it. confirm with sockstat -4 | grep skype | grep \*:80 that skype is NOT listening on port 80 (you shouldn't see any output back from that cmd) ( similar for 443) _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome RTFM and STFW before anything bad happens.
