As far as I know - Netvision uses a very strange scheme of modem connection.
You have to receive IP address from DHCP, then connect to PPtP (VPN) server
at Netvision with your login+password, receive a new IP and still use your old
one (received from DHCP server) to go out to Internet.
This scheme worked a week ago - maybe they changed something again ?
