Please try and see if you get the same thing.

Although I have never been able to go to the Skype web site, I could use the Skype application until recently. But now it never connects -- it's as if you are trying to access Skype but are not connected to the internet. I would welcome others to try -- maybe it's just my computer (and those of a few of my co-workers).
One thing I've noticed in few places is they force the browsers to go
through the proxy, but the direct connections were just fine.

Check your browser configuration and try to force it to connect
directly instead of proxy. You may be able to visit some sites
(if it still works the way it did for me in the past)
