Advanced has the choices of: Skype: 'Enable Skype WiFi' (off) and Connection: Use port (0) for incoming connections Drop Down Proxy Settings (Automatic Proxy Detection) Host (blank) Port (blank) User (blank) Password (blank) And that is it.

No additional tabs not additional choices. I will > not have this software on any of our business computersI don't see any files or configuration in the 'skype' package in the Nux repo that would indicate it is installing a startup service. Also, some trivial testing with the program doesn't make it start up when I log out and back in. I'm curious how you got it to start up automatically? Maybe your desktop environment is starting it up automatically because it was running when you last shut it down? -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
