The error 4226 come from TCPIP source, not WINS source
The Skypes is OK, now

The procedure:

1) Install Skype
2) Remove Skype entry on Windows Firewall (app allowed to use)
3) Disable Firewall
4) Open Skype (it add the entry, automatically, on list of app permitted to use)
5) Enable Firewall
6) Skypes is OK!

Does not make sense, but...
