Good guide, but I'm on Mac what you said won't work completely. You also have to add the incoming port as 40031, restart Skype, and bam you're unresolvable.

I use the same method as well, I'm quite confident this would help out for those who are in need of some kind of 'insurance policy'.

Oh, I'm sorry Joker. I never even touched a Mac before so it wasn't exactly the best tutorial. But I will add that in there, Thanks!

If I am correct, there is a more advanced method for Windows users. I forget it, though...
