Unknown error occurred (-3256)

Hi can anyone help ?

I've been able to play my music through my stereo speakers for the past couple of years without any issues whatsoever using AX, however all of a sudden i now have this pop up message appear :

"An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "........" An unknown error occurred (-3256)

I can play music through the computer speakers fine, however it's just not the same.

Does anyone know what this means ?? Please help !

iBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

I had the same problem. I have an Airport Extreme Router with two Airport Express devices for Airtunes. Everything worked fine and suddenly, it stopped working and I began getting the error messages. I tried the tips in this forum, including adjusting the fire wall settings, networks settings, updating the firmware, etc. Believe it or not, here is what worked for me. I simply shut the power off to all my computer equipment and waited several minutes.

When I turned the power back on and rebooted. It worked again. Go figure?
