Skype functions on most networks without any special settings required.
However, some networks use restrictive firewalls that tightly control incoming
and outgoing Internet traffic, which prevents Skype from functioning properly. If
you find that your Skype Wi-Fi Phone does not function from the network you are
using, ask the network operator or system administrator for the settings required
to enable Skype to function properly.
The Advanced option on the Settings menu provides access to the network
connection settings that may be required for some networks. If you are not
familiar with firewalls and networking terms, it may be best to ask a system
administrator or knowledgeable friend to help make the settings for you.
Note: This section only provides a brief summary of the advanced settings available
and a knowledge of networking is assumed. For more information, go to
www.skype.com.
