That must have been a new addition. I knew a place with a 2 meg fibre line about 18 months ago, they were a small business with an AP (WRT54GL) running DD-WRT doing NAT and still had a machine acting as a supernode |

| 1147151 | 2010-10-26 01:38:00 | What sort of speed is your broadband plan, you really need full speed up and down to get the best results . If you want to check if sound is working ok add the Skype test call echo123 into your contact list and connect to it for a sound check . I just leave Skype closed and have a pre arranged time for Skype calls and only open it at that time . I have full speed up and down, and I'm close to the exchange <1 . 5km . Re Supernode, I think I qualify for this: "Any computer hosted on a network that is behind a network address translation (NAT) device or restrictive firewall will disable supernode functionality . " in fact I know I do so that solves that problem too! All I have to do now is know how to initiate a call, or preferably receive one and we are all set . So, is my username all that is needed to initiate a Skype session? This is all very important because as previously mentioned all this is for my daughter to do an online interview for her University Masters Course placement in OZ and this is critical to her future career . If we stuff this up technically, the consequences for her future career could be very significant!!! :eek: I'll go read the tutorial I found and see if I can get the answers for myself, but any helpful advice would be appreciated . I'd also like to set up a trial session with a PF1 member before I go live on her future!! Volunteers will have to be prepared to see my ugly mug and have their illusions as to what BT looks like shattered forever! I could be young, female, blonde, gorgeous and available, but I'm not . Rumpty has already volunteered so is first on the list (watch for a PM later today Rumpty) . Cheers Billy 8-{) |
