Silverlight server socket

Question

I am developing a Silverlight app and I want to open server socket on it. But I can not bind socket to a specific end point. Is there a possibility to open socket listener in Silverlight application? Thanks in advance!

Silverlight sockets are very restrictive. You cannot create server sockets and you can use the Socket class to connect to a server only through the ports 4502-4534. Also, the server must be configured to accept your connection.
