just to verify, it looks like the port range restriction (4502-4534) for socket connection is still active in the release of Silverlight 2.Is there a way around this restriction?
Does such a restriction make any sense?

Looks like sockets are restricted to that range:

Some of the Silverlight insiders back in the b1/b2 days mentioned that RTW would "unrestrict them". However, that appears not to be the case.

yes, this is why I ask. I am able t conenct only in this port range, and the MSDN still list this port range:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc296248(VS.95).aspx
But it makes not much sense to me to restrict it to such a port range only. I have to configure the servers I want to connect to this range. This is annoying but I don't see why it should increase teh security, it just limits the amount of services you an connect to.
