So Amazon has no problem to accept P.O. Box address for delivery... Then hands over the package to some local (international) carrier company, that does not work with the postal services (the owner of the P.O. box, probably for financial reasons)...
So in the middle of your work day (they work nine-to-five too) you got a phone call to ask for street address to deliver to...
The f***ing problem is that my address is 'the 2nd tree-house in the left end of the forest'... No delivery there... Not to mention that nobody at home...
Tried to connect Amazon to explain them the absurd of the situation, but got lost in the site...
(To be clear - I have no problem to deliver to work address if I know that it can not be P.O. Box)

We have bought some things that came delivered in two times. The first one put a notice in the mail box as "you were not at home, you might pick the packet up in the post office". The second one, was just left in front of the door.

Here's what I sent them
Tell Kevin Anderson to harden up or take up tiddly winks. Tennis is a 5 set sport and only Wankers and Americans think of a tiebreaker in the 5th set. Advantage should always be played and if it takes him 50 games to get the win suck it up.
I don't know what prize money he will make just for making the final but I bet it will take me at least 10 years working my job to match it. He played to the limits of his endurance and well done to him, but to ask for things to be made easy just sucks. I don't like it.
And while I'm on it, make the girls play 5 sets too. They want equal pay then they should have to do equal work. If it's all to hard them then they can hand back Women's Lib and go back to the 1950's.
Oh, and make them shut up, I don't watch any more as the grunting is so bad it is like being at the zoo back in the 1970's when the elephants would get in to it during mating season.

I got bored and went to bed, 2 great streaks of pelican sh*t blasting unplayable serves at each other is not something I can watch for 6 hours. The attraction of watching the Beast bounce around the court was not not enough of an attraction to keep me up.

Hi all,
Usually I change from my office to the customer's location.
In each place I need to specify a different IP address.
Years ago ibm and lenovo included the "thinkvantage access connections" which allowed to select a configuration from a list after pressing a key combo.
Are you using anything similar? Can you recommend something as a replacement for the lenovo software?
Ps: I want to replace it because it no longer works in Windows 10.
Thank you all!

Not sure if its in W X but there used to be a way of setting profiles for using from different locations (like a laptop you use at work and home). It was there in XP through 7. Good Luck...

Probably that was what it was used by Lenovo Access Connections...

Is it possible to run netsh setting files?
I was (win xp and 7) using a bat as menu interaction and then changing the eth settings executing the netsh files

Hi again Nelek,
it is not difficult to use that set of commands, in fact a simple
netsh -c interface ip dump >> c:\folder\file.cfg
makes a complete backup of the current configuration. While a
netsh -f c:\folder\file.cfg
Recovers that configuration automatically.
Great and easy.
The only problem I can see is that in windows 10 it doesn't store the DNS configuration in the backup process so it can't save it for later recovery.
Not that super thing given why I want to use it, but... does that work in your scripts? And, if it works... what have you done?
Thank you!

I made a bat to bring a menu, where to select which configuration I wanted.
d - DHCP
1 - Configuration 1
2 - Configuration 2
...
x - Exit
Selected entry called a configuration_X.netsh file where the specific data for each connection / customer were saved and my eth got the desired settings in a couple of seconds.

My objective would be to store the data in a file via backup (storing the dns too), and afterwards being able to reload those files (recovering the dns too).
Are your bat's working with the DNS settings too?
Thanks!

Mine... nope.
Only IP, Gateway and Subnet-Mask
I think it could work, but never needed it because I was only in "offline" networks for production, so no DNS at all.

Then I won't spend more time on it, it's a super-solution:
I can store the right IP addresses into the folder of each project.
Super simple.
Thank you for pointing me to this.
