I have installed Skype in the past using lpf-skype from rpmfusion repo. It appears to work fine:

 rpm -qa *skype*

 skype-4.2.0.11-8.fc20.i686
 skype-data-4.2.0.11-8.fc20.noarch
 lpf-skype-4.2.0.11-11.fc20.i686

Fedora20: Client server networking configuration

I am using Fedora 20 on two computers and I have also one computer that use Windows 8.

I wont realize a local network with these computers, but I am a little confused about the way to arrange my (client server) network configuration .

I understood that DHCP is the core to do the network configuration, but I have some doubts about how I have to arrange it.

Reading the documentation, I got the opinion that nothing need to do in the computers that have the role of Clients on the net; instead on the computer with the role of Server it need to write the file /etc/dhcpd.conf.

That is exact ?

What other important operation need to do to do because my local network works correctly?

It exists a good PRACTICAL tutorial to accomplish this task?

Skype stopped working on my CentOS?

From last one week my skype has stopped working. I can startup but I can't log on. Does this have something to do with the recent update to LibC?

skype dies after starting up on ubuntu machine?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and facing problem with ubuntu? On my machine Skype starts, asks to log in and then presents its list of connections. However after a couple of moments the list of connections gets
"inactive" (greys out) and finally disappears.

In the crash window that then pops up I see that something with libc.so.6 seems to be amiss.

Any idea what I can do to fix the problem and where do I find the info that is in the "crash report window" so I
could add it to this email if needed?
