I don't think it is a machine or firewall problem (I am using Acer Aspire 1300 and very old Acer EXtensa 367T)No sound calling echo123, though XMMS works fine. Kernel 2.6.8 with Ubuntu Warty; LibraNet 2.8 behaves similarly.Errors from Skype (with XMMS terminated): GETOSPACE: Device or resource busyA desktop on my LAN almost (with a lot of static) works, so I don't think it is a firewall problem.You have Skype working on an Armada?
I have Debian Sarge testing with 2.4.27 & 2.6.8 and Knoppix 2.6.11 Use Skype_1.1.0.3-1_i386.deb pakkage to install Skype. Had some problems with Skype from Dynamic- / Static-binary.tar.bz2 Remove and reinstall! / J
