- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+43I'm in the 192.0.x.x range, and it doesn't work either!
- akumukun, on 10/12/2007, -5/+34Thanks again, Rogers! I bet you it has to do with packet shaping...
- YoHowdy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+29192...You must be in my house!
- iotadeltaphi, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25Erm... yeah. I'm on Rogers' net up here in Canada.
Who wants to bet it's got something to do with Rogers and its traffic shaping? - ap3lovr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Almost Guaranteed it;s Rogers being stoopid.... Oh well, just another reason they will get hosed in the long run.
- acey049, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Our IP here in the panhandle of FL is 70.183.x.x through Cox Communications and the free SkypeOut is working perfectly fine.
- kherrick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Bell Canada gives me 70.51.x.x and Skype works fine.
- Mike.ohara, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22Friggen Rogers.. its official there are NO good ISPs in Canada.
- 16x9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18It seems that some Rogers fan modded down some of the above comments. Weird, but it takes all kinds I guess. Because I am so very much against packet shaping, I modded everyone back up.
Take that "Pro Packet Shaping and Tiered Internet Agenda!" :) - abandonow, on 10/12/2007, -9/+24Yeah, and I'm on 127.0.0.xxx and it isnt working for me either.
- FlyboyP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15You must be from Tuttle, Oklahoma.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Just HAD to ruin my fun, eh Gerbil?
- cazbar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13As stated above, most of 192.x.x.x isn't private. I found out the hard way that some of the root dns servers are in the 192.x.x.x range when I incorrectly entered a subnet mask for a network interface on a dns caching server.
- seanroth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1271.xxx.xxx.xxx no workie in southern CA. (verizon)
- affanjam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Bell Sympatico up here in Canada is good to go.
65.XX.XX.XX
works great
remember you need to and +1(areacode)-number - icurnvs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10It's not an issue with Skype. Your ISP is more than likely deliberately blocking you from being able to use Skype. The only thing that could possibly keep it from happening is to have the traffic encrypted from your PC to the Skype servers. Dunno if that'll ever happen though.
- Hydroxyl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I'm using Bellsouth in Miami, Florida and I have a 70.x.x.x IP. :(
- leighhalliday, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10What how is it possible that you and I have the same IP address?!?!?! 127.0.0.xxx Have you hacked my computer??
- Crazy_8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I think this could be the doing of the telephone companies in general, not just rogers (keep in mind i'm guessing on this, no solid proof this is whats wrong). I know somone with Verizon DSL in Alrlington VA that has a 70.x.x.x and it's not working. I guess the telephone companies didn't like the idea of people making free calls everywere.
Also, to note my IP. I am a 68.x.x.x on Cox comunnications, works great. - pegisys, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I have 68.x.x.x number as well, I hope they don't block it later because I have been calling family all day :)
- jgee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+871.xxx.xxx.xxx is working just fine In PA
- DarkEnder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+870.xxx.xx.xx, and it works fine for me.
- dkoolaid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8this is from the skype page
Hi,
It's possible that a small percentage of people cannot get this promotion currently. Skype looks at your internet traffic (IP address) to determine if you are in the US/Canada or not when allowing the calls. If we cannot detect this or your IP is outside of the US you will not be able to call for free. We are looking into seeing if there are some specific ISPs that don't provide geographic IPs or mask your IP address which could cause problems.
AndresS - djnull, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8its not working for me with 71.blah.blah.blah in CT either

http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?p=250342#250342 - spooky760, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I had to reinstall skype to get the freebies. Just my $0.02.
- Mike.ohara, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Friggen Rogers.. its official there are NO good ISPs in Canada. but on that note, it doesnt seem to be limted to just Rogers... any ISP that uses 7.x.x.x ips seems to be blocked, could it be an issue with the software, or something?
