Notes

• Changes made to this plug-in are applied to new client connection requests only. Clients that are already connected to the server are not affected.
• Windows Media Services supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). IPv6 is the newest version of the Internet Protocol and was designed to accommodate increasing demand for unique IP addresses. IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits to support more levels of addressing hierarchy and a greater number of addressable nodes. Not all networks are configured to use IPv6, but Windows Media Services will automatically use IPv6 when it is available. For more information about IPv6, refer to the IPv6 page at the Microsoft Web site.
