Hi,
Can u help to sort out the problem of Skype. When I connect to Skype it gives me error of P2P connect failed. Please suggest me, what to do. and my Skype is behind proxy server.

You can solve this problem by opening xterm and typing:

rm -rf ~/.Skype

this will delete all of your settings but then it works. At least this fixed it for me.

Could you retrieve your chat logs? (Chat history) after doing rm -rf in the .Skype directory.

Hi,
Its not working for me yet. It shows HTTPS auth proxy failed.
I am working under a proxy server that requires authentication.

Any more ideas at how I can get skype working?

It's worked for me too!
I am using Skype 2.1 beta on Ubuntu 10.04
Why will this happen?
This sucks because it wastes my whole morning.

It worked for me in Ubuntu 10.04. Thanks so much!

Right now Skype doesn't work and I get this problem. However I think they have technical problems.

I also cannot reach http://forum.skype.com and https://support.skype.com.

So have that in mind, not always a local problem.
