Skype question?

[Richard]

For Skype to show you as being online, three things must all be true:

1) The computer is on and running the Skype program.
2) It has a working Internet connection.
3) Skype is set to show you as being online.

If the computer is using a WiFi connection to reach the Internet, and the WiFi is not connected, then you will not be online.

You should note that the Skype program has to notify the Skype server world that you are there. If you lose the connection to the Internet it can take several minutes before you are missed and will no longer appear to be online. For a short time you might appear online to others when you are no longer really there.

I hope this helps.
