Concurrent Connections

[Steven Blair]

Hi,

I have Server application which handles a single conenction froma client.
I want this program to accept concurrent connections.

Anyone help me out ?

I am using a TcpListener object. I thought that this would accept concurrent
connections, but apparently not, sicne I have my server running and connect
using 2 sessions of telnet and only seems to register one connection.

Any help on this is appreciated

Whenever your server accept a connection, a new thread should be spawned
off and further interaction with that connection should take place in
that thread. Then your server main thread go back to listening mode.

Hi,

When the server accepts a connection, does a new thread automatically get
spawned or is the programmer responsible for this ?

Here is my code:

listener = new Socket
(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,SocketType.Stream,ProtocolType.Tcp);

listener.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any,5005));

listener.Listen(0);

listBox1.Items.Add("Listening...");

listener.Accept();

Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ClientConnected));

thread.Start();

So I start a new thread after Accept method.

Any more help on this would be appreciated. The strange thign is, i can
connect 2 telnet sessions to the server, altho only recieve text from the
first instance.
