Skype unable to view contact online status, chat, or make calls

Basically nothing useful works for Skype 7.x latest running cxoffice 16.02.

What Works:

  • skype installs
  • skype opens
  • skype account can login

What Doesn't Work:

  • "home" contact updates
  • recent contact list is half-filled, contacts visible there all appear offline (although they are online)
  • browsing the full contact list yields an empty list
