I think you've got your syntax wrong there... "permit" and "deny"
statements are used to create Access Control Lists and to limit the IP
address ranges.  The "allow" and "disallow" statements are to allow or
disallow various codecs.  They way you've specified it above, you're
allowing a codec called xxx.xxx.xxx.0/255.255.255.0, which probably
isn't what you want.
