Hi,
First the easy stuff:
Clear the IE cache from IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete files
and Delete offline content. Reset the TIF
folder size to about 50MB (Settings button) and clear it occasionally.

Clear the History... Internet Options> General

Browse to the Cookies folder and delete any cookies from skype.

Delete the TIF and History folders.
How To Delete the Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

Do a complete shutdown- computer(s) router, modem. Leave everything off for
4 or 5 minutes.

See if skype is in your HOSTS file. Make sure that hidden and system files
are visible (Folder options> View) and search for a HOSTS file.

Now... many other possibilities at

and http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers2.htm#secure_sites

Hope this helps,
Don
