Alright, I'm not particularly tech savvy so I dont know what information is relevant at all, so I'll just say my hardware presuming it has any relevance. intel R core i5-2500 CPU 3.30 ghz 3.70 ghz. 64 bit operating system. graphics card is a GTX 560 ti.

The problems really as simple as the title suggest. When I log into skype for a few seconds im connected, then suddenly my internet lags out. I've got a Cisco DPC3825 DOCSIS as my router. Skype works on other computers in the house, and the internet only cuts out on my end. If I sign out of skype it pops back on. I've gone to the actual skype site-- more than once-- to look for and request new information, to no real avail. IIRC the suggestions involved turning on and off a couple internet connectivity options, which had exactly zero impact. Other than that... nothing.

In Skype, Tools >> Options >> Advanced >> Advanced Settings >> Connection >> uncheck the enable uPnP and click Save.

Heh. No I dont have any, and havent seen I got the computer, and this problem with skype has been a constant. It was basically the first program I installed and it did the same thing even then.

What about weird software that came with the motherboard? Did you install any of that or did you just let Windows Update do its thing? There was some thread yesterday with a person having problems with a board using Qualcomm Atheros Killer for networking and some software related to that crashed the PC when doing certain things in SC2.

Could skype be trying to utilize a proxy and in doing so overriding some operative system default? pretty weird problem

edit: now that i think of it it would probably not be able to connect if it was.

skype uses the same network connection (or something) as another microsoft service, and the same connection as WAMP , causing interference/disabling of WAMP

you wont have WAMP, but try googling WAMP skype issue . there are a few solutions to that problem and one might be relevent to you

Is this the solution your speaking of? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4705005/how-to-solve-wamp-and-skype-conflict-on-windows-7

I tried it in the past and it didnt work, however I cant even sign into skype right now, it cuts my internet before I sign in, whereas it use to do so afterwards. I cant even access options.

There's an "Event Viewer" in Windows. You could try to see what kind of event happens in the "administrative events" section when you start Skype and the network access cuts off, and if Google finds a solution searching about that event and Skype.

Are you connected via a cord to the router or is it via wifi?
In Hearthstone we pray to RNGesus. When Yogg-Saron hits the field, RNGod gets to work

there is another windows service that intefered with my wamp (like skype did/does) and i disabled it after reading in google search. its still probably nothing to do with your issue.

I know this sounds like a really unusual suggestion, but try uninstalling Skype, and downgrading to a version such as 4.2. Make sure you restart your comp in between those two though.

Google oldversion if you can't find the setup file.

Downgrading has resolved the issue for me.

In my case, I was connecting to a wifi router, and all other computers connected can't surf on the web when the problem come up (can't even ping google).

I can't explain it to myself, how a single program can do this. Any LAN DoS software can't do better.

Okay to clear up what I was thinking about when i suggested that,

Skype was bought by Microsoft at some point, and then MS being stupid as they are decided to integrate skype into their windows updates. So I think the issue might be related to that in some manner, but I'd wait for R1CH or someone else for input as to how that could be the case.
