Hi,

I work under the YHGFL Grid, and have had many troubles with Skype, it will connect but drops connections very frequently. Not sure if this is due to YHGFL or not, but it works fine at home so....

I'd forgotten about this thread! Well just to let anyone know that comes along looking for the same answer, yes it does work. Seems to take longer than normal to connect, as in time from clicking dial to hearing the ringing sound, but it does do it even with video. As ever, try before the event just incase but apparently the event that used was a huge success
