How do I configure Skype to work with the UniSA firewall?
Return to: ISTS FAQ Home > Internet connection
By default Skype can not get through the UniSA firewall. By configuring it to work with the proxy server, in a similar way to how you get access to the web, it will work.
1. Open Skype.
Enter Skype Username and Password.
From the Tools Menu , select Connection Options
:
2. Enter:
8080 in the "Use port for incoming connections".
3. Tick "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections".
4. Change Proxy type to HTTPS and enter:
Host:
www-proxy.unisa.edu.au
Port:
8080
Username: your uninet\UniSA login name
Password: your UniSA password
7. Click the Save button
