Please log in for more thread options A friend I particularly want to install Skpe has stopped installing it until he resolves a particular problem. An article in a UK PC Magazine dealing with Skype and how to install it, (was it PC World), said that you can have trouble with Skype and NAT if you have a router. He has a DLINK D1 614plus and he is afraid installing Skype might disrupt his business through his DLINK router. He has asked me to look into this matter for him, can you advise me please. I am not technical so the question posed above is as he explained it to me and my understanding of it. He obviously uses a network so no doubt someone will understand his worry and help me to help him be reassured. -- Derrick Fawsitt | ||||||||||||||||||||||

If he has a combined modem/router he has to change that by disabling the router function and adding another router. You did not state the router and modem make/type. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

> DLINK D1 614plus Sorry, you DID state the router type... is the Dlink using firmware version 3.43 ? Is he placing the Skpe between router and modem? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
