Enabling remote connections to Windows Media Encoder

Windows Media Encoder supports remote connections through dial-up networking. Windows Media Presenter for Microsoft PowerPoint 97 uses this connection to send start, stop, and script commands to Windows Media Encoder during the presentation.

By default, Windows Media Encoder accepts remote connections, unless the computer that Windows Media Encoder is installed on has an active dial-up networking connection at the time of installation. In that case, after the computer restarts, a dialog box is displayed asking you if you want to enable remote connections.

If you do not choose to enable remote connections initially, you can enable them later by running the file Enable_Remote_Connection.reg. This file is in the SystemDrive\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Tools directory. Also in this directory is Disable_Remote_Connection.reg, which is used to disable remote connections.
