Did you use other connections before? I imagine that this is a duplicate of bug
9396...

Comment 2 Chadi (reporter) 2010-04-30 00:13:54 UTC

No. This is not a duplicate of bug 9396.

Bug 9396 is the other way around anyway: proxy to non-proxy.
Yes, I use other connections indeed. Skype works on the ones without proxies,
and doesn't work on the one with proxy.

Well, you could try setting up a proxy to reproduce it :-)

Bug confirmed, it's one of the most annoying defects of the device.

It was present in PR 1.1, it is still there in PR 1.2.

Comment 5 Chadi (reporter) 2010-10-05 22:20:28 UTC

Now that I have a proxy to test, it looks like this bug is fixed in PR1.2 for
me.

I'm using PR 1.3 and Skype can't connect through my proxy (proxy.unina.it).
I configured the proxy with default configuration panel and I can connect only
through microb browser.

Confirming. Skype is no longer working through a proxy.
