    So I have a Lync deployment successfully provisioned for Skype federation, and can get calls to work from Skype to Lync from the Windows 8 Metro client, but I'm not able to get a call through from the desktop version of Skype.  The reason appears to be that my Lync contacts are appearing as offline all the time in Skype, but the metro (and mobile) clients allow you to call offline clients, while the desktop one doesn't.  Since calls from these clients are successful, I'd have to imagine that the federation route works, but is there something else that would be blocking presence requests from Skype, or is this normal behavior?  This seems broken to me-there has to be some way to get the user presence to work as expected.

    If the Lync contact show offline in Skype, the Skype can’t call Lync contacts.

    I am facing the same issue here, contacts appear offline on both Skype and Lync, but I can make calls from Lync to Skype.

    Is there's something wrong with the presence between them?

    Also the same here. I can add the user in Skype and also in Lync.

    I can send messages from Lync to Skype, but not from Skype to Lync and my Lync user appears offline in Skype. Drives me nuts.

    hello

    it is a privacy problem

    you have to change in lync - tools - options -> alerts

    in the Contacts not using Lync section you have to check "Allow anyone to contact me"
