> > What can be done with this? You can try this little hack on the older linux version skype-4.2.: - Install the 4.2 package. - start a hexeditor and open the file /usr/bin/skype - search for "4.2.0.11" and change this to "4.3.0.37" - save the file - restart skype and - voila! It is now connecting to the server again! Good luck! Hans
