That worked.

glad to hear it did 😉

But, why?

i'm not exactly sure. let's settle for a +minor flaw+ in the OS.

That fixed it for me too. I wonder if since IPv6 isn't in use it's trying to resolve an IP request which will never be returned. This in spite of having a valid IPv4 address. Agreed... perhaps it's a minor OS flaw

Setting IPv6 to Off did not work for me. The original error message stated that "An unknown error occurred (-15000). After setting IPv6 to off, the error message changed to "The network connection was refused".

Did you figure this out yet?

Here's the brilliant fix for people using Windows, specifically Windows 7. Takes all of two minutes to fix with a simple firewall tweak. Hope this helps you guys.

Apple really should be on top of this and posting these fixes for customers.

This fix worked for me too. Such a simple thing.

Turning the firewall off (and then back on again) on my MacBook Pro fixed my prob.

Ok people,

So I Bought this Mac Mini this week, and this AirPort Express also this week.
Then I downloaded ALL the available updates.
Then I have listened to some music for some time using AirTunes.
Yesterday, the musics started to randomly stop playing in the remote speakers while in the host computer the musics were normal.
Today, I have heard some music by the morning, but now when I just got home I got surprised by this same error -15000.

After checking for more than 2 hours in google, reseting all the other AirPorts I have even to default settings, I decided to post here.

I have no firewalls installed (system is simply turned off).
That IPV6 is off everywhere.
All the other "delete files" stuff I found elsewhere didn't made the trick also.

Now I'm using my computer directly cabled to the AirPort Express (no hubs), and I still got exactly the same error message -15000.

Seriously Apple, what do I do now?
Return all my stuff? Cause I ran out of options.
I would gladly receive some apple tecnician in my home for free, so he can solve this and launch the updates to the world.

Thanks for the help.

Pierobon,

Try turning the firewall on, then turning it off again. My -15000 errors were definitely related to the OS X firewall.

already did, and now I just did it again... no difference at all.

Here we use:
AirPort Extreme - Internet Router.
Aunt PC - wired connection.
My mac mini - WiFi connection
Airport Express - "extend WiFi network" connection
And everything is connected to the airport extreme directly.

So I did this test, and unplugged her computer, and pluged mine wired to the airport extreme, and voila! same result: work-stop-work-stop at random.

BUT... I was noticing and wondering here, that when my aunt shuts down her computer, i can again use this resource in the "work-stop-work-stop" random pattern.
so when her computer is off, this thing works.
it's crazy.

So, end results:
wifi + wifi, doesn't work. almost ever.
wired + wifi = works now and then.
wired + wifi without other PC plugged into network structure = works a little more than now and then.

I was hoping to understand why it didn't work when i plugged directly "one cable only" earlier today.

I think this problem then might have something to do with overall network load.

I had the same problem yesterday, tried the all iPv6, firewall on & off, tried also to upgrade to firmware 7.5.2 no luck...nothing....today I tried this:- go to airport utility - (left bottom) - go to manual setup - go to itunes - check and uncheck the box - click update - my AX restarted and voila...was able to stream wirelessly again...and was also able to upgrade to 7.5.2 firmware. goodluck to those of you having this problem!
