Error -6753 when trying to find my base station

I'm working off a Dell computer with a wireless card in it, and it can't find my Airport Extreme Base Station. I've tried going to "File" and selecting Configure Other..., but when I put in the IP address and the password for the base station it gives me the Error -6753.
What is this error and how do I get my PC to recognize my wireless base station? It's been configured on my mac and to all appearances it's working perfectly, but I just can't get the PC to connect to it wirelessly. HELP!

Some additional information:
The desktop currently "running" the airport express is a Mac Intel Mini and it's hard-wired into the base station so it's not having any issues connecting (wirelessly at least).
The Dell is approximately 4-5 years old, running Windows XP SP2 and the Airport Utility loaded straight from the disk that came with the Airport Extreme. The Dell is using a 2Wire wireless card that previously had no problems on two Linksys and 2Wire Homeportal wireless systems that were set up in my house and where I worked. The Mac Mini also worked on the 2Wire home system previously.
I can get the mac mini to find the base station and the wireless network created by it (using WPA/WPA2) and connects perfectly fine. Neither the Dell's network connections nor the airport utility on the Dell are finding the base station's network, and no amount of rescanning finds it. The base station is working fine to all appearances.
I'm going to try downloading the Utility from the Apple website today at school but that's not going to help me until I get home at 5pm. Help!

An error occured while trying to access the base station

I know enough to get myself in to trouble...but not enough to get myself out
I am connected to my wireless network. I know what my WEP is. There is a different password when my iPhone connects to the wifi but I know that too.
I am trying to get in to configure the base station (want to do a port forward).
I downloaded the Airport Extreme Admin Utility for Windows. My network is listed on the left hand side. I click on configure and get prompted for a password. I have entered all passwords under the sun but continue to get the following error:
An error occurred while trying to access the base station. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again. Error code -4
Unable to reset the base station as if internet goes down or new passwords have to be changed on all computers then wonderfully patient flatmates may not continue to be so wonderful and patient.
2 questions
Is this a password error or something else?
Is there any other way of getting in so I can do a port forward with minimum disruption to internet connection for my flatmates?
Any help would be most appreciated

Im a bit disappointed. The main reason I went with Apple gear is because people told me "there are less problems" and its "more reliable". I have yet to see the difference with Windows based equipment and Apple gear. I have owned 2 Ipods, an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express. I have had more problems with these than my PC based stuff. Please tell me I am wrong.

Error-6753 when trying to connect my desktop PC

I just replaced my old wireless router with a Time Capsule Wireless N router and it works great wirelessly with my MBPro and MB, but trying to connect my desktop PC with the ethernet cable is not working. I cannot connect to the internet and the utility is not working, I keep getting the error code-6753. I set up the wireless network first, and then tried to connect the desktop PC. Can anyone help? I ran the disk and installed the utility and through that is where I am getting the error.

The utilities, provided on the CD, are not required for the PC to access the Internet through the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). They are only necessary for administering the base station.
If your PC is currently configured as a DHCP client, it shouldn't have any issues connecting by Ethernet. The AEBSn will assign the appropriate IP addresses required for connectivity to the Internet ... just like it does for wireless clients.

Has anyone gotten this error when trying to connect to base station

I am getting a -6753 error eveytime I try to connect to the base station via the admin utility. I've tried both soft and hard re-starts but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi jpnscr,
got a couple of these while setting up two Airport Extreme base stations. I got around this by a hard reset of each unit, and (ii) by using an Ethernet cable connection. For (ii), there was a really interesting difference between a brand-new simultaneous dualband AEBS which did require the Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports, and an older Gigabit AEBS which could only be setup with the Ethernet cable in the WAN port. As long as I had the cable in the wrong port(s), I got the -6753 error.

Script Error report when trying to "Find Album Info" for music in Windows Media Player

When I click on "Find Album Info" in Windows Media Player, it finds the correct media info. But when I click "Finish" after verifying everything is correct, it says "An error has occurred on this script page" and asks if I want to continue. I click
yes, it goes back to the last page of finding album info, I again click "Finish" to find the same "Script error" page?

Sir, that means the Windows Firewall Blocked the Script So try these steps hope it works for you :
1.) - Open the "Start Menu".
2.) - Go to the "Control Panel".
3.) - Double click "Security Center".
4.) - Click "Windows Firewall" in the top left.
5.) - Click "Change settings".
6.) - Click "Continue".
7.) - Click the "Exceptions" tab.
8.) - Scroll down and check all of the "Windows Media Player" options.

Error -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations

I have the latest iTunes 8.0.2
The firmware updated to the latest in AirPort Express
PC: Windowds XP, SP2
When I try to stream music to AirPort Express from Itunes I get Error -15000
I have tried everything according to the support pages with no success. In some support pages the solution is only for Mac. How do I solve this problem for PC with Windows XP?

Welcome to the discussions forum divonka.
I realize those documents refer to OS X, but I'd suggest your problem is similar. Try disabling your Windows firewall. If that works, find a way to open UDP port 5353 as explained in this document. Hope it helps!

I keep getting an error message when trying to download i tunes. It says it's looking for MSVCR80.dll and I find it on my computer so I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

I keep getting an error message when trying to download itunes. It says it can't find "msvcr80.dll, but when I search for it on my computer it is there. My itunes was working just fine before I got the message to download the latest upgrade. I've not had any problems doing that before now, so don't really know what to do.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

If the file was not originally from iTunes, you'll need to redownload it from it's original source or rerip it from the CD. Files can sometimes go bad and become corrupted. As to how or why that happens, there are a number of ways.
What format are the problematic tracks in? Have you tried converting them to another format in iTunes?

Getting Error -9672 when trying to add printer wirelessly

Hi,
I seem to be getting an error -9672 when trying to add my HP PSC 1410 wirelessly to my airport network. I've tried on my intel iMac and my mac book but I'm getting the same error. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
ANY help is much appreciated.
Matt.

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. A quick look at the iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility List doesn't show this particular model. This doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.

Error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.

error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.;
Unable to open file "/Users/geraldw/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-000016.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.
I've completely uninstalled vmaware fusion. and would like to install a new copy of windows7 plus my vmware fusion3.0 that I have on a disk. I wonder if windows7 is still buried in my mac hard drive somewhere? I can see some windows files on my mac but they appear a gray and can not be accessed. Could there be a problem installing a new copy of windows through boot camp? It seems to do so wouldn't be a clean install as I suspect that windows 7 is still on the drive somewhere. I've tried to follow the path the file I listed above, but nothing comes up. I'm almost certain it was accidentally deleted completely from the hard drive as it was quarantined while using Clam X anti-virus. I'm a relatively new mac user and long time PC user, but a computer genius I am not. I don't want to have to reformat the whole mac machine and lose my current files, etc.
I've uninstalled vmare completely and reinstalled, it, but the problem persists.
Any help?

You will probably get a better response asking this question in VMWare's forums for Fusion.
Best of luck.

Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
"The action is only valid for products that are installed"
Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
ok here is what you need to do:
go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
Hope it works for you mate!

You should always backup your iPad before ever doing anything major that coould result in a catastrophic loss is something goes wrong. You can then usually restore from the backup when your iPad has recovered.
You should also be sure to have transfered any new purchases directly to your iPad to the iTunes app on your computer on a regular basis.

Error message when trying to view/print Crystal reports in B1

I get the following Error message when trying to view/print crystal reports in SAP B1/Crystal Reports Integration Tool for SAP Business One:

Hi
Common issues for this :
1. Once you install crystall add on ,you need to go to Crystal report Administration >Account setup .
Put on the user name and password and click on creating ext tables
Try then running the report .
If not the case ,
make sure you install runtime .
You need :
1.Crystal report basic from SAP download -(Not necessary if you want only report viewer >
2.You need to have crystal integration addon (I think service pack is SP1)
3.Make sure you have runtime install
When you are installing ,make sure you restart your PC before you do or remove temporary file s
Hope this solves your issue
