Sandbox Error #2048

Question

Ok, got a flash application that connects to a server.  When I run the flash application from within Adobe Flash it connects no problem.  When I try to run it from IE from the web it gives an error 2048.  Now the interesting thing is that the server I connect to from flash is showing the flash application connects briefly then disconnects.  I have a crossdomain.xml file I have created but haven't figured out if I am missing something.
Here is my crossdomain.xml, also, does this go into the root directory or the directory of the html file I am accessing?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" to-ports="X" /> -> X isn't the port number I just x'd it out
</cross-domain-policy>
Thanks!

I am using sockets to connect but I am not sure where you mean to put the Security.loadPolicyFile.  I currently have it as the first thing executed.  Should I move it to be the first thing after I get a socket connection?
Thanks.
Here is my source code:
import flash.net.*;
var s:Socket;
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://www.pcbytes.biz/crossdomain.xml");
Security.allowDomain("*");
Security.allowInsecureDomain("*");
flash.system.Security.allowInsecureDomain("*");
flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");

var p:int = 2000;
var host:String;
if(Security.sandboxType == "remote")
     host = "http://www.pcbytes.biz";
else
  host = "pcbytes.biz";
s = new Socket();
s.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, enableSend);
s.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, onClose);
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, onResponse);
s.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onError);
reconnectButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reconnect);

var msg:String = String.fromCharCode(0x03) + sendMsg.text;
try
  s.writeUTFBytes(msg);
