What is QuickBooks Error Code 6176?

[brock12]

QuickBooks is a great accounting tool, though sometimes users come across certain issues; QuickBooks Error Code 6176 is among them, surfacing when QuickBooks is unable to open the company file because of a communication problem between the software and the server. This error commonly indicates that QuickBooks isn't able to establish a system address for the server (or that it isn't able to pick it up) or it's being blocked by a firewall or security software. It could also occur if the file path is invalid or the file is corrupt.
