This happened to us. We hired a computer expert who was able to get it going. He charged around 1000 rubles per hour. At our first apartment, it didn't take him more than a couple of hours. With the second apartment, however, there was a different provider and took much longer.

Other companies have similar policies for foreigners (for instance, you wont get local credit to buy a TV, or a mortgage).

It may be of help....but i doubt it. They are a law unto themselves. Your best bet is to find someone who knows someone within Corbina or get your company's IT 'expert'. In my previous flat i got my IT guy to come and set up my internet. paid him a grand. well worth it.

They just installed a vnp-local network on my PC, plugged an isdn-cable in and now its not possible to install the w-lan router afterwards. because they use strange configurations which to router doesn't accept. I'd like to change to provider, but need some informations first. I'm thankful for any advice. simone -------------------------- simone schlindwein [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: SPIEGEL Moscow Ul.
