There is a little tweak you can do to make it work.The only concern is that you will login and be alone until Skype officially sort out the issue.
Thanks for the tweak, my problem is that the effing app just shut down and won't come back up; that leaves me at instruction number 1a.
Reinstall? Nah! I'll pass that!
BTW: In a group of 4 guys on the same network, we have 50% outtage. Whatever criteria was used to pick "who goes"! <---- Democracy!
