windows firewall in vista

Thanks very much jesper, read all the comments on the skype board and it
seems that there are a few issues with skype and vista at the moment.
Hopefully all will be sorted soon.

It's kind of funny (strange funny I guess) that when I was running RC2, a
couple of devices worked fine, including my Logitech Orbit camera (non-MP).
Skype also worked fine and I used it several times to talk to my son who was
in China on business. Then I get the public verson of Ultimate installed
and registered and then things that were working stop. I guess MS removed a
few things between RC2 and the public release. I'm not complaining mind
you, just making an observation. BTW, I haven't tried Skype since I
installed the official Ultimate.
