| Conference hotel internet connection | Nov 4, 2005 |
Jerzy/Magda
Sorry for such a niggly question and please don't rush to answer as I'm sure you have 10,000 other things to sort out.
Just wondering, the conference hotel offers free internet (which is very useful). I was just wondering what sort of connection you need. Is it wi-fi or a WLAN and if so, can it be picked up with the normal 802.11 wifi card (the normal dell card, not sure if I've got the right code). If you need a plug, what sort of connection is it?

I'd hate to arrive and found I had the wrong plug.
ps on plugs, I take it Poland uses the same 2-pin plugs as most of Europe, rather than our British 3-pins. ▲ Collapse

| European plugs | Nov 4, 2005 |
Yes, the plugs are European - two sticks instead of three. There are plenty of addapters available, if you haven't got any (Boots has them, I know for sure).
As to Internet connection - I was also thinking of posting the same question.
Cheers,
Burrell

and network cables are available at the reception.
No wireless Interent connection as for now.
For anyone who does not have his own notebook there are three PCs in the lobby, which can be used for free.
The polish plug systems may slightly differ from the european standard wit two pins and outer earth connector, as there are sockets in Poland with one single earth pin.

That's the electrical socket also used in Belgium. When you use a plug for double isolated equipment (like for your laptop adapter) you should be fine.

| Any ideas for UK plug addapters? | Nov 4, 2005 |
I have been in Poland several times and have never seen the plugs you describe.
What would be suggestions for laptop owners from the UK? I do not have a flat plug, for example, and all I can get is a normal continental adapter. Do we need adapters from continental to Polish system? Where can we get them?
Cheers,
Burrell

| Flying from Stansted? | Nov 13, 2005 |
Anyone else taking the 17-50 Ryanair flight from Stansted on Thursday 24th and would like to share a taxi to the Hotel System?
Thanks for the replies Burrell and Herminia. I've sent direct e-mails re. meeting up. I think that makes a taxi-full.

I am catching this flight so you can count me in. Any ideas how to find each other?

| 17h50 Ryanair from Stansted | Nov 15, 2005 |
Hi!
I am also taking this flight and it would be great to share a taxi on arrival.
How about arranging a meeting point e.g. in Stansted, before the flight? (I guess that might be easier than at the Krakow airport - where I, at least, have never been!)

Yes, I have already done that. I had some at home but they did not have the hole necessary for Poland. So I got it from Internet for almost pound or two - for three.
Cheers

| Also remember it's 220V here | Nov 16, 2005 |
If your equipments uses 110V (this is probably the case if you fly from the US), you need a more advanced converter than ones described above.

| May I correct a little? | Nov 16, 2005 |
These are not 220 V, but 230 V, as in the other EU-countries at least from the western side.
Nevertheless, if your equipment is not specified for this voltage (most of notebooks are), you will need a volatge adapter too.

| Anyone flying from Glasgow Prestwick? | Nov 16, 2005 |
Taxi-sharing is a great idea, Russell. I wonder if anyone else is leaving from Prestwick at this unearthly hour (6.55 a.m.!) on the 24th? If so, would you like to share a taxi to the Hotel System?

Hi Jerzy,
Therefore, we need a dial-up connection, only. I presume we can find the correct adaptor in the reception. Here, in Greece we are using 'Shuko" 220 Volt/50 Hz sockets.
Best regards,
George
