Install Skype standalone offline installer
Some Software installers which download data from servers to complete installation are an irritating, albeit upcoming trend. Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Google Chrome etc. are some of the programs which require you to be online while installing the program.
They typically have an installer file under 1 MB, which then download files to complete installation. While this might not be a problem for broadband users, dialup users and others with poor connectivity would benefit from an offline installer that you could get from a nearby web browsing center (in your USB drive, for example).
Skype has a standalone installer (which works even if you are offline).
Download Skype offline installer and double click it to begin setup. You will be prompted with a UAC warning, click Accept.
The next few steps would involve simply clicking ‘Next’ a few times – there is nothing to tweak (unless you want to install your programs in a partition other than C:\).
In the second step, make sure you leave the checkbox empty for “Yes, I want to install Browser Highlighter”. You would not even find it interesting unless you’re a power user.
Skype should now be installed and ready to use thanks to our standalone installer. This was tested on a Windows Vista system, although It should work on Windows XP and Windows 7 too – leave a comment if you find any problems while using the offline installer. Using this also allows you to install Skype on multiple computers without having to download the online Skype setup file multiple times – saving bandwidth.

Skype Problem, Over Wireless Connections
Wireless zero configuration is a service offered by Windows XP to simplify wireless network management and guarantee that your PC has the fastest possible connection. Periodically (about one minute interval) it resets the connection and searches for a higher speed connection. This may cause your Skype connection to drop.
This service is required to establish wireless connection, but it can be stopped subsequently. The service can be started or stopped via the Windows service management screen or Windows commands.
Windows service management screen: Right click on "My Computer" on your desktop, select "Manage" >> "Services and Applications" >> "Services". Double click on the entry "Wireless Zero Configuration" and you can start or stop the service.
Commands: The following two commands can be used to start or stop the service:
net stop wzcsvc
net start wscsvc
You can enter these commands by going to "Start" >> "Run"; or you can create a short cut for each command.
To create the short cut, start Windows Explorer, locate and right click C:\WINDOWS\system32\net.exe; select "Send To" >> "Desktop." This would create an icon on your desktop. Right click on the icon and select "Properties". Under "General" tab, change the name to "Stop WZC"; under "Shortcut" tab, append " stop wzcsvc" (yes, there is a space before "stop") to the "Target" field. Set up the "Start WZC" shortcut in a similar fashion.
You can also put the "Stop WZC" shortcut in the startup folder so it would stop automatically for you.
Remember to restart the service if you have to reset the wireless connection.
