Cannot Login to Skype: Server Connect Failed
This is a good one for all of us that like computer mysteries. Everyone at work can get onto Skype as it is allowed except one co-worker. Tat has an eee pc 1005 brand new and her twin sister has the same, also brand new. Tat cannot get on, but her sister can. Her connection times out and she gets the "Skype cannot connect. Get help fixing this problem" message." We have disabled firewalls, uninstalled firewalls, del/readded Skype, but the issue persisted. She is running version 3.6.0.248 windows. She also cannot connect from her ipod.
I have been using Skype 2.1 at work for nearly a year now, currently on my eee pc 701 with Ubuntu 9.10 beta on it. I have never had an issue connecting to Skype. I was on a video chat, clicked end call, signed out and quit Skype. I had Tat login using my eee, and she received the message "Sign in failed. Server connection failed." This is where it gets interesting. We chopped it down to her username and I went to login to mine, and now I am receiving the same message. I can no longer log in from work either. I removed Skype, purged all, removed .Skype folder in home directory, reboosted and reinstalled, but the issue persisted.
This is a real head scratcher, she bricked 3 different systems with her username, all different platforms. We reset our passwords and the issue persisted. We are able to connect from home without issue. This is really fascinating, any ideas? Please assist.
