Windows Media Encoder supports the use of Internet Protocol (IP) masks. These masks enable you to specify individual IP addresses or sets of IP addresses that should have access to the encoder. You can also specify those IP addresses that should be denied access to the encoder.
This access information is stored in two registry keys, and you will use the Registry Editor to update the keys with specific IP addresses. The registry keys are:
If you add the same IP addresses to both keys, then the DisallowDistributionList key will take precedence and access will be denied. If these keys are not listed in your registry, then you can use the Edit menu to add them.
Your ability to make changes to the registry by using Registry Editor depends on your access permissions. Incorrectly editing the registry can severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, back up any valued data on the computer.
