So, i was very happy so see that there was put socket support in SL2.
But if im not mistaken, its not posible to write an SL2 IRC Client because of the port range.
Anyone know the reasons why it have been limited to a specific port range?

My understanding is that this Port Range is fixed for Beta 1 only, that in Beta 2 it will be opened up.

Shawn, could you please share your basis for this understanding? It seems like a policy decision, and it's unclear to me as to why such a decision would be reversed between these releases.

Super interesting! Could you please tell if you *know* this for certain, or if it just a rumour?
Thanks a lot!

I read somewhere in the MSDN documentation that it was temporary while they solidify the security model.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.socket(VS.95).aspx"Site of origin connectivity is intended only as an interim solution until the full cross-domain model can be put in place for Silverlight 2."
