Slow internet/DNS issue and SERVFAIL response using 10.6.4

Internet is slow since upgrading the older intel-based macs to 10.6.4 and since I received this new iMac with Snow pre-loaded.
nslookup, > scutil --dns and > dig -t soa local all return the same result
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 172.16.16.251, trying next server
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 172.16.16.17, trying next server
Server: 172.16.16.254

We can't change our .local configuration and have tried everything else on the forum we could find. Any other solutions?

Not really.
Your local DNS server appears to be incorrectly configured, as it should be generating NXDOMAIN replies, not SERVFAIL.
Unfortunately, SERVFAIL responses tell DNS to try another DNS server, not just give up:
NOERROR        NOERROR indicates that the domain does exist according to the root name servers and that the authoritative name servers are answering queries correctly for that domain.
SERVFAIL        SERVFAIL means that the domain does exist and the root name servers have information on this domain, but that the authoritative name servers are not answering queries for this domain.
NXDOMAIN       NXDOMAIN can means that the root name servers are not providing any authoritative name servers for this domain. This can be because the domain does not exist or that the domain is on-hold. Make sure that you use whois when you see an NXDOMAIN.

So my airport extreme recently had some nat/dns issue and in the airport utility displayed a warning about it and to correct it. I wasn't sure what to do so i pressed the resolve icon and now my guest network is not working.

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Internet/Router issues and new "secure email"

I'm supposed to have a 35MPS internet plan. When I switched to the higher speed plan, I paid for the Verizon router and installation. I have both a Mac and Windows 7 Laptops as well as an older netbook. To say that the wireless connectivity sucks would be complimentary. I've used the automatic troubleshooter....I've looked through forums and followed advice on settings etc...with no joy. Before I "upgraded" I had my own belkin n router. Even though the router is downstairs in an office , with the belkin, I could connect on my back deck and all but the furthest upstairs rooms in the house. Since I "upgraded" the wireless won't stay connected with line of sight 8 feet from the router so we have cables trailing thru the living room. For the brief moments when wireless is connected it is slower than dial-up. The cabled connection seldom exceeds 10MBPS ( this is where they tell me the plan is "up to" 35MBPS")
We have a mountain home with DSL and a VERY basic wireless router. Both the Mac and PC connect effortlessly and even my very untechsavvy wife mentioned how much faster the 3MPBS DSL service is than FIOS. Her next question "Tell me again why are we paying so much for FIOS?"
The latest debacle (forget that companies choose to not learn from others mistakes, think Netflix here) is the new secure email settings. I updated my Mac and my android in strict compliance with the Verizon directions and for a few minutes all was well. Today I can't connect through my android. An "authentication error receiving" message show up with a note to check my settings only I HAVEN"T CHANGED MY FLIPPING SETTINGS! Now I have to go in and re-enter my account password several times a day to get into my email account when the PW is stored in my phone! I consantly have to rest the Mac as well. (Hmmm no yahoo, gmail issues and they are free....)
To be fair I haven't called in the issue with the wireless connectivity because I have called before on other issues and frankly I don't have the time to wait on hold. The last time I had a "technical problem" with my service I ended up telling the tier 2 tech how to fix the problem.
As a Quality Assurance /Customer Service professional, the one thing I can tell Verizon is that there is no marketing campaign that will overcome word of mouth reports on poor service and response. I installed FIOS years ago when it was first available in my neighborhood. Service was reliable, customer service responsive and capable. That all seems to have gone by the wayside to improve the bottom line. Volume can go a long way to masking attrition for quite a while, but it isn't sustainable. The cable companies in my area have an even worse reputation which is the only reason I've not yet left...and that's a really crappy reason to stay.
I understand that it's the processes and the system which are hosed up. The poor CS reps are customer facing and they take it on the chin for every corporate decision viewed as stupid by customers. There may be a few really bad customer service reps, but the majority of CS reps DON’T come to work to see how many customers they can **bleep** off. CS Reps are only as good as the process under which they must work. When working with organizations and speaking with CS reps one question I always ask is "How long would you put up with what you put out if you were dealing with another company?" Then I suggest that the leaders/managers attempt to call in with a problem using only the same avenues available to paying customers.
Companies should also must realize that the "cancellation fee" they threaten people with is usually about a month and a half worth of service. After that it's money back in the consumers pocket, or more likely into competitions pocket and not in Verizon’s pocket. It’s the principle of the fee that keeps customers hanging on.
Now that I’ve vented if anyone can tell me a better router to use than the one Verizon gave me, I’m all ears. I really don’t care about remote accessing my DVR.

Since you already have the Belkin and know that it works well, I would suggest hooking that up to the Verizon-supplied router and using that. Turn off the wireless from the Verizon router.

Dynamic DNS issues and/or confusion

I work for a small university. We have two domain controllers running on Windows 2008 (not R2). On dc2 we have a DHCP server running serving several VLANs across campus. We've been having issues where the dynamic DNS entries contain an
incorrect IP address for several machines. In some cases there are even several entries for a single machine. I've notice two main issues by looking at the DNS server. First, old entries aren't being cleaned up. Second, after re-imaging
a workstation the DNS entry for that machine is not being updated. After doing some research I came across the blog entry from Ace Fekay on how to go about setting up dynamic DNS. I immediately determined from reading that scavenging was not setup
properly on our server. I think I've corrected that problem, but I'll have to be patient and see what happens over time. This brings me to the issue of machines not adding themselves or updating their records in DNS.
After reading Ace's blog I decided to follow his recommendations for configuring dynamic DNS. I created a normal active directory user to use for configuring the DHCP credentials (it appears our server was set to use domain administrator previously).
I added the DHCP computer object (this is also one of our domain controllers) to the DnsUpdateProxy group. On the DHCP server I have checked "Enable DNS dynamic updates according to the settings below" along with the "Always A and PTR
records when lease is deleted". I also checked "Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request updates...". After doing all of this I rebooted the dc2 server. I then manually deleted all of the
existing dynamic entries on the DNS server, so they could properly be recreated. Now, here is the problem after setting all of this up. I'm now seeing student's personal machines, phones, tablets, etc. being populated in our DNS. Before making
these changes only domain joined machines existed in DNS. Our DNS is configured to allow only secure updates. Why is it that now non domain trusted devices are being allowed to create DNS entries? I was under the assumption that secure updates
meant domain only. Am I not understanding something properly here? Can someone please provide me some insight to what's going on and what I might be able to do to prevent non-domain joined devices from having entries created in DNS?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that non domain trusted devices have been registered their DNS entries in DNS which is configured to allow only secure updates.
If a DHCP server that is running on a domain controller is configured to perform dynamic updates on behalf of its clients, that DHCP server is able to take ownership of any record, even in the zones that are configured to allow only secure dynamic update.
This is because a DHCP server runs under the computer account, so if it is installed on a domain controller it has full control over DNS objects stored in the Active Directory.
DHCP server will perform dynamic updates on behalf of its clients when you enable the option "Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request updates...", and this means that the “owner” of the DNS entries is
DHCP server, not the clients. And the zone accepts the DHCP server’s update because the server has full permission.
You may try to uncheck the option "Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request updates...".
Best Regards,
Eve Wang

Hi Eve,
You are correct in your understanding that "non domain trusted devices have been registered their DNS entries in DNS which is configured to allow only secure updates." I also made a mistake in my original post. I meant to say that I also
had "Always dynamically update DNS A and PTR records".
Now back to your reply. Are you saying that if I had my DHCP server running on a non-domain controller that I would be seeing a different behavior in regards to permissions of DNS objects and that I wouldn't be experiencing the behavior of non domain
trusted devices being created in a secure zone? I thought setting the DNS dynamic credentials to a normal user account was supposed to help with security concerns in regards to DNS objects. What would happen if someone named their personal computer
the same name as one of our file servers or even a domain controller? Would the DHCP/DNS server actually have the power to overwrite that record in DNS?
I'll try your recommendation of unchecking the "Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records..." option and see what happens.
Thanks for your reply...

How can I override the DNS Servers and Domain Name used by my Airport Time Capsule?

The defaults picked up from my ISP's DHCP are to use the ISP's DNS servers and ISP's domain. I do not want this.
With my prior router I set the DNS servers to Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and my domain to either "bannister.us" (which I own) or "bannister.home". I do not want simple names resolving to some ISP default. (Yes, I know exactly what this does.)
In the Apple AIrport Utility (version 6.3.2) the fields for DNS and Domain do not allow editing. (Why??)
Is there some way to override this?

Unfortunately not one that will work with the latest version TC.
The way around it is to use a different router.. It can be a very simple router.. I usually recommend units like the TP-Link WDR3600 as they take good third party firmware like gargoyle, openwrt, dd-wrt.. ie they have real controls and beyond that a proper Linux firmware with command line interface.
You can then change the TC over to static IP. It will not be the router.. but it will effectively become the local dhcp server.
I have adsl so I cannot reproduce your system.. I have a bridged modem.. a router.. AC66U.. and a TC.. but the TC is not in bridge.. it is in static IP mode.
Let me demonstrate.
By setting a range on the main router from 1-199 (leave a space.. ) so set the TC to 192.168.2.201 and then you can set DNS and domain as you like. Set the dhcp range (leave a space) you could use 203-253.. then I use the main router as 254.
It is brilliant.. all computers behind the TC receive the IP from the TC with whatever IP and dns (and domain although I haven't changed it).. Effectively the TC works as its own dhcp device.. but is merely a secondary dhcp server to the main unit.
(This gives me netflix which is why I do it.. from well outside the US).
It may be of use.
Why leave a space.. well it helps it to work.. I have not tested it but another person reported issues and found leaving a space .. ie last ip in the router.. 199, static ip 201.. first dhcp 203 (i used 205 to help me keep count!!). worked.. I have not tried to reproduce the problem.. so I reproduce the solution.. it might be like sheep jumping over the fence.. even if the fence was removed the sheep keep jumping over at the same place. Just say bahhh and do likewise.

Internet connection issues and Horrible support

I have been using Verizon FIOS at work, home and recommened to all of my clients and friends. Had been using FIOS since it's available to me 6 years ago. It has been great, but I had a huge disappointment and horrible experience today.
The home FIOS line had been having issues for the past week and half, almost everyday, it will have certain downtime, the ping time will go up to 6000+ ms, the download speed will be around 50K! I picked up the phone called Verizon for help, after 40 minutes of hold, this engineer (Level 2 according to himself) Joe, asked me a bunch of questions and basically refused to help, because he said there's nothing to help and NOTHING he could do from his end. He wanted me to run computer optimizer and not to use WIFI.
We certainly have an issue, and the issue comes and go, it looks like Verizon support or this enigeer "Joe" thinks that I am lying and want to spend an hour of my weekend time to report a false problem.
How do I file an complain about an engineer? (He told me i cannot escalate and cannot talk to anyone else).

Slow Internet on Mac and not PC

A couple of days ago, my Mac started downloading Internet web sites much slower than normal. What took a couple of seconds (DSL connection) is now taking 10—15 or more. I have tried it wireless and wired. I get the same result. Even Itunes is extremely slow!
At first, it was on my Mac and my husband's PC. We rebooted the modem and restarted our computers. My husband's PC is zooming along. My Mac is still slowly downloading pages. I have rebooted my computer and DSL modem several times.
I also downloaded the latest edition of my browser, Firefox. I tried loading pages on Safari. Slow, slow, slow. Even launching the browsers is slow. All other applications are loading just fine and in a short amount of time (5 seconds or less). I have also cleared out my Firefox cache.
Just a few minutes ago I updated my security packages. That didn't help. I also verified and repaired my hard drive permissions.
Any ideas? Help! Thanks!

The musigal,
I would go to your System Preferences -> Network -> Built in Ethernet (Show: Network Status must be selected) and under TCP/IP click renew DHCP lease if you are using a dynamic address. Next write down the DNS Server information there (if any) and then delete it. You will need to do this for Airport as well. Reboot and try your internet connection.
If you still are having issues, check the results of the command "ipconfig /all" on the PC in command prompt and compare the "default gateway" and "DNS Server" to the "Router" and "DNS Servers" in System Preferences -> Network -> Built in Ethernet.
If you get it fixed you can further speed up Safari by using the command in Terminal.app First quit Safari and Mail:
sudo defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay -float 0.25
and further speed up Mail.app if you are using POP not .Mac mail:
cd ~/Library/Mail
sqlite3 Envelope\ Index
vacuum subjects;
ctrl D (to end)

HPZ12 driver caused DNS issues and weeks of headaches

HP, you really need to work on your drivers. I've spent the last 3 weeks or so working on an issue that caused our servers DNS clients to stop receiving responses from the servers. After spending the entire day drilling down I find out that the problem is that winsock ran out or resources because your driver decided to open thousands of UDP ports over IPv6. As soon as I stopped the HPZ12 service everything was fine. I've completely disabled the service now, but you really need to get this fixed. Every day I find some reason to dislike HP more and more.

Thank you for the idea to test where the problem is.
Quick question - my local PC DNS server is the HH3 (192.168.1.1).
The HH3 has as its DNS server - 213.120.234.50 Primary and 213.120.234.38 Secondary.
Are these correct? I cant find any information on them?
Thanks
Mike

IPhone 3.1.2 Internet connection issues and iPod application crashes

Was having problems connecting to internet with 3.1 that could be fixed by switching to airoplane mode and back, but with 3.1.2 internet service drops out (even though the screen shows all bars and 3G) and the only way to get it back is to switch the phone off and on. DOing this 20 times a day. Annoying.
Also, with iPod running, hitting the album icon in teh top right to get to the track listing for eht album causes the iPod application to crash.
Does anyone else experience this?

I also had problems with 3.1.1 which resulted in intermittently not getting access to the internet, not waking from sleep, etc. Now since 3.1.2 update iphone works better but at least once a day I am getting no connectivity to internet even though GPRS/Edge/3G is showing and the signal is strong
The only way to resolve it is to reset network settings, also losing my wifi settings.
Apple should have a blog to update on these kinds of software issues as it is hard to tell whether it is due to the hardware or not. I almost sent the phone back for repair last time only to find the 3.1.2 fix was aimed at exactly the problems I was experiencing. Although, as stated, still not completely fixed.
Also my battery life is worse by about 20%

Yes that is normal. I have no problem with CS6, No lag or hesitation.
A tip for you if your creating the mask using a copy of a color channel. Set the brush blending mode to "Overlay" This will protect the mask Black and White areas. You will only be able yo paint in gray areas of the mask. When areas turn 0,0,0 Black or 255,255,255 White they become protected too. Use a Wacom tablet soft brush low opacity and many strokes

[SOLVED] Greetings... and DNS issues... (why is it so slow?)

Hey everybody!
My name is Stephen. I'm new to Arch (hence I'm posting in the newb forum). A bit of background: I'm a CS major in the good 'ole US of A. I used Debian/Ubuntu for 2 years before now. I actually installed Arch just yesterday, so today is my second day of usage. Why do I want to switch from Ubuntu? Several reasons, but they can all be summed up thusly: I want to tinker with and understand how my machine works. I don't want to interface with a blackbox that just "works." Arch seems to be geared towards what I want.
And I've been learning alot, haha. Which I why I am now here to ask for help.
I originally installed Arch at school. Everything was great. Then I took my laptop home and I found out something was wrong. Pacman took an extra 5-15 secs before each download started, but once the download started, I got normal speeds. I observed a similar behavior in my web browsers I tried (Firefox/Surf). No matter what I do, this behavior persists. I suspect this is a DNS issue, and thus I have tried the follow methods of correction so far.
1) Reinstalling to a default configuration.
2) Disabling IPV6.
3) Screwing around with etc/hosts, etc/resolv.conf, and etc/dhcpcd.conf (though I probably did something wrong. Also, I'm not sure how to force Arch to accept my changes after modifying these files.)
I also read somewhere that using HTTP mirrors works better for pacman, but I already was using an HTTP mirror anyway, so I knew that couldn't be the problem.
I have not tried DNS caching yet. However, given that every other machine in the house runs fine, I suspect it is my configuration that is wrong. Does anybody know how I can pinpoint this as DNS for sure? And if so, how I can fix it? Thanks for all your time/help!
Here are some config files/snippets of interest. Most of this should be straight from a basic Arch install.
etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd from eth0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
domain domain.actdsltmp
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 216.165.129.157
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
Note that 192.168.0.1 is the address of my router on my LAN. I believe the second address is a DNS provided by my ISP.
etc/hosts
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost moebius
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
etc/rc.conf snippet
HOSTNAME="moebius"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

Time Capsule slow internet with Linksys router

I has issues with slow internet page loads. I have a Linksys WAG325N router connect to Telstra ADSL 2 with a Time Capsule. I use two wireless network one broadcasted from Linksys and the other wireless network from the Time Capsule. When i'm connected to the time capsule i had slow internet page loads and the Time Machine backups fail.
When connected to the wireless network from the Time Capsule i get 10% to 30% packet loss when i pinged the Linksys router and 0% packet loss when i pinged the Time Capsule.
I then connected to the Linksys router then i has packet loss with i pinged the Time Capsule and 0% loss when i pinged the Linksys.
I used the Airport Utility and changed the "Ethernet WAN Port" from automatic to "10 Mbps/Full Duplex".
This seem to fix the problem. I think there is some issue with the port speed negotiation between the Linksys and Time Capsule.
Time Capsule 7.4.2
LinkSys V1.00.13(01)

The same thing is happening to me, exactly. Although my top speed is lower than yours (I'm on FiOS). Unplug it for a second, and you're back to normal. Otherwise, it will slowly and inexorably degrade until you have something worse than dial-up.
This is completely unacceptable, and it's far too typical of the current state of Apple's quality control and support that there is no official acknowledgment of this screamingly obvious and annoying problem, which happens every single time I use my Time Capsule, which is to say every day, and no recommended fix.
Sometimes I feel as if I could really hate this company!

Weird Wifi DNS issue

Hi all,
I recently reinstalled windows 7 on my laptop and began to encounter very annoying wifi issues. It will connect to my router but the small yellow excalmation mark always notifies me that I have no internet access. Wired connections work fine however. So
recently someone suggested it may be a DNS issue and I tried switching to the Google DNS servers for IPv6 (2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844). That resolved my issue perfectly and I was finally able to use wifi again. Just as a test, I switched
back to "Obtain DNS settings automatically" and it continued to work, so I left it at that. However, two days later it stopped working all over again. I tried switching to the Google DNS settings again and it didn't work. I tried using the IPv4 settings
and it didn't work. I tried that whilst disabling IPv6 and it still didn't work.
The most frustrating part is I tried pinging internal stuff and it works fine, for example, 127.0.0.1, my router IP, another computer on my network (which works fine). I'm even able to log into my router configuration page on Chrome, but anything else doesn't
work, including webpages and even Steam.
Any ideas?

You need to talk to your ISP's Technical Support. The DNS addresses are supplied by your ISP and are usually listed in the modem or router depending on your setup. The DNS address in Windows should be the base address of the modem/router.
If your losing DNS addresses when using WiFi you need to look at the settings within the WiFi router.
It is very feasible your are experiencing random failure of your WiFi router or you system's WiFi chip, or you may have a defective driver for your system WiFi chip.
If another computer's WiFi works, then most likely it's either a defective WiFi driver or the WiFi chip itself going bad on your system and not a Windows 7 problem.

HP Envy 15 Heating Issues and Screen Damage

Hello,
This is going to be quite long since I'm going to explain everything in as much detail as possible.
I bought my HP Envy 15 (j123tx) in September 2014 and for three months I had absolutely no issue with it (work wise and gaming wise) until one day I booted up the computer and noticed that a big rectangular portion of the screen (on the top - in the rectangular area that aligns with the touchpad when the lid is closed) was discoloured. Specifically it was much darker than the rest of the screen on a black background and yellow on a white background.
After checking to see if there was anything on the screen's surface, I realized it was a hardware issue and decided to use my warranty (of which I have another 8 months or so remaining). I told the retailers about the issue and they told me it could be because of the pressure applied on the lid (when it is closed) that affects the screen specifically in that area since the touchpad is a bit sunken in to the notebook's body. After expressing my displeasure at how inconvenient that is since I've taken very good care of my notebook and have only transported it in the HP notebook bag, they promised me that they would send it to the HP Service Center in Sri Lanka who would replace the display panel for me (obviously since my notebook is still under warranty).
After 10 working days, I went over to the retailer's warranty center and collected my notebook with the display panel replaced and the problem gone. I did however notice that the technicians had pasted a note next to the touchpad which read "Check the temperature of the touchpad. It could be heating up and damaging the screen". I asked the retailer's technicians what this meant and they told me that since the notebook has a magnesium (or magnesium based) body, it tends to heat up. The heat could also be heating up the touchpad (since that too seems to be made of magnesium). As a result whenever I close the lid of my notebook, the rectangular screen area directly above the touchpad could be heating up and thus getting damaged.
Now this to me seems like a huge product defect. I've been using HP notebooks for more than 8 years and I've never heard of this issue before. I asked the technicians how I could prevent this from occurring again and they told me to use the little cloth that came with the laptop when I bought it that is placed under the lid (between the screen and the keyboard) when the lid is closed.
While using that little cloth doesn't seem to be quite inconvenient, I'm very afraid that the problem will occur again and I'll have to get it fixed again which involves transferring all my data and losing my notebook for 2 weeks which is highly problematic for me as I require it for work. Should the problem occur again outside the warranty period, I feel I may have wasted a good amount of money on this notebook when I trusted HP over its competitors simply due to my past experiences with its reliability, durability and performance.
While I realize this is not a current issue - I would really like to know if this issue has been experienced before (my search did not turn up anything related) and if I do have to be worried about it happening again and if so, how I should go about handling it with the retailers (perhaps I should give it back and ask for a refund for selling me a defective product).
Thank you sincerely.
PS: I have attached a picture of the problem when it occurred for your reference.

Thanks for the prompt reply WeiH.
Sadly there doesn't seem to be an HP Service Center in my country (Sri Lanka). So now I'm really confused as to what my retailer's technicians meant by "we'll send it to the local HP Support Center and have your display panel replaced".
Whatever they did, the display panel has been replaced and I've been using it for less than a week so far with no issues. The touchpad hasn't really been heating up and has in fact been as warm as the rest of the notebook. Perhaps it's because I have now turned on the option of disabling the touchpad whenever an external cursor device is attached (since I primarily always use a mouse).
Needless to say, since we both have no clue as to how the touchpad overheated and damaged the screen (in the exact position and measurement as the touchpad) I feel like it's just a matter of time before it happens again.
Obviously I understand that there's little you can do on your side other than direct me to an HP Support Center. However I hope my worries are justified as I feel that as a consumer I shouldn't have to worry about my brand new product malfunctioning by no fault of my own.

Goods issue and goods receipt with bar code

hi
i need to do goods issue and goods receipt using bar code

iwill print this bar code on external system
after printing same one will be stikked to the respective bins

One of the ways of triggering transactions in SAP using external systems is IDOCs
When the barcode scanner scans the barcode of the material, you can trigger the IDOC from that system which will send the material barcode, number of units, goods issue/goods receipt etc to your SAP system. Once that inbound IDOC is received in SAP, SAP will trigger the goods issue or goods receipt based on the kind of transaction.
If you can give the idea of IDOCs to your technical guy, he should be able to enable the solution. You may have to configure an IDOC in your SAP system, using teh standard IDOC type/message types meant for GI/GR
Hope this helps you
