    Skype will go out on PORT 80 if it can .. so use HTTP Proxy with some authentication, then SKYPE "sneaks off" to other high ports, by default you should not have "ANY" from say Internal to ANY so it gets blocked .. all down to network design really. If a business NETWORK, put say SERVERS and things like WSUS servers etc in their own LAN and use a separate http profile just for workstations .... There is a VERY long and detailed and informative note on FORUM from Gert about HTTP Profiles ... (thats what we do !)
  • Have a look here http://www.heise-security.co.uk/articles/82481 so you understand how Skype works around Firewalls...
