Required connection settings for Skype with the Internet

Sometimes serious problems arise when connecting the Skype program to the Internet. This can happen after installing the latest version of the program or just after making the wrong settings. If you do not have a Skype connection to the network, but you need to use this program, and you want to solve this problem as soon as possible, then you definitely need to know about all the nuances of setting up a Skype connection with the Internet. Then you can set the correct parameters and solve the problem as quickly as possible. We recommend that you carefully read the manual that will be described in this article.

Notwithstanding the OS

The problem of configuring the skype connection can occur for each user, and it does not matter at all on which operating platform the system is running. If you are a simple user and have never encountered similar problems, then making the right settings for yourself will be something of a fantasy field.

The main difficulties

There are basically two reasons for why there is no Skype connection to the Internet. This can be affected by the basic Internet connection settings directly in the standard Internet Explorer browser. Or the second reason is that the network connection is set to autonomous operation. Solving the problem is very simple and for this you only need to follow further instructions.

We recommend that you check the proxy settings first. If they are installed correctly, the proxy is turned on and running, but as before skype does not have an active connection to the Internet, it means that this is due to a weak signal, or because there is no internet connection at all. As you could already understand, your main task is to disable the proxy, and this is done as follows. Start the standard Internet Explorer browser, then press the Alt + X combination, and then the drop-down menu should pop up. Your task is to go to the properties of the browser, then go to the connection page and only after that you can get into the network settings. If you check the "use proxy for local connections" tab, you need to remove it. Remember that all settings should be saved. After saving the settings in the browser, you need to press the Alt button. When the menu appears, go to the "file" menu, and if there is a checkmark (it will be located above the "Work Offline" tab), disable it. Now you need to check the Skype connection settings with the Internet, for this purpose we simply reconnect the Internet.

The Skype program can also refuse to work if it gets into unwanted programs of your antivirus. In fact, this happens rarely, but it does happen. In this case, your main task will be to remove this program from the unwanted list. This action takes place in different ways, depending on your antivirus.

Connection settings Skype with the Internet you can check directly in the program itself. To do this, we enter the settings and select the appropriate tab. In addition, it is also recommended to check if the Internet is working with other applications and sites. It may not be in the program itself, namely in your connection, so before making any settings, be sure that the connection to the Internet is active and other sites open in the same mode.
