wilcal Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I have been successful to install the Skype Mandriva Linux RPM in LE 2005 but it's doing something strange. skype-1.2.0.11-1.mdk10.2.thac.i586.rpm Using the Skype window I can create a new user ID with an associated PW and the program logs in and runs. But, if I exit the Skype program then reopen it if I try to reopen that same account with its correct IP and PW the program says Login Error. The Skype program has an option to have your IP and a new PW sent to your e-mail address which I do and get that new PW. But, when I use that IP and PW combination I once again get a "login Error" message. The only time I can get Skype to work is on the very first time I create the account and PW. After that no matter what I do I can't get back in. Is this possibly something to do with the latest Mandriva RPM? I read everywhere that Skype is Port independent but see references to Port 80 & 443. Port 80 is open in my LAN to the WAN but Port 443 is walled off from incoming stuff. I gotta believe a lotta people are successfully using Skype on Mandriva LE 2005. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
