Skype killed the internet.
Okay. It only does it on one computer here.
When I run Skype on my main workstation, it runs 15-20 minutes and then wipes out my network.
I can run it for hours on any other computer on the network.
I ain't got a clue what could be up with this computer to cause this or even where to start looking.
Anyone got any ideas?

I think it may have something to do with port forwarding, although I am not too sure. I would go here and find your router. According to Skype you will want to forward port 443 to your local IP.

But I'm not even running a firewall on this computer.
I have no problems connecting to and using Skype. I have a problem using Skype over 15 minutes. Well, not so much a problem with Skype. Just a problem that Skype knocks out my network so I can't use anything.

You may not be running a firewall on the computer, but it is most likely that there is an integrated firewall in your router. Look for virtual port forwarding or something equivalent. Your router should be on an IP such as:
192.168.0.1 (but this will differ)
Sorry if i'm telling you stuff you already know.

That is just crazy. If it's not port forwarding (even if it is, that's just weird), then I'm clueless.

Have you tried using an older version of skype on that one computer to try and isolate the problem?

Or is there ONLY one other machine with skype connected?
