The above error -3256 occurs when IPv6 is set to off shortly after starting playback in iTunes.

If I set IPv6 to automatic it simply times out with no message.

While searching for a solution I stumbled upon dozens of users having the same problem. Some could resolve it by:

  • Upgrading Firmware to 6.3 (Harrharr, that one's from '2006)
  • Downgrading to iTunes 7 (yes, it started with iTunes 8!)
  • Disabling Firewall
  • Setting custom rules in Firewall (UDP Port 6002)
  • Trashing iTunes Preferences
  • Resetting and staying with factory defaults
  • What's working
    • Resetting and staying with factory defaults (meaning, the my iMac joins Airport Express default network, leaving aside my regular network)
    • Setting an Airtunes password
  • What breaks it
