Why can't I accept a socket?

I'm trying to set up a listener. I've confirmed that the port we are using is not blocked, the IP address is correct, I am sending data to the server, the server is replying to my message requests (verified via ethereal). My problem is that in attempting to grad that data from the server, I cannot accept the socket. Here is my code for my listener class:

using System;

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.IO;

using System.Net;

using System.Net.Sockets;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace TPCP4

public class Listener

private TcpListener myListener ;

private Socket mySocket;

private Thread th ;

private IPAddress[] array;

private int port = 2700 ;

//The constructor which make the TcpListener start listening on the

//given port.

//It also calls a Thread on the method StartListen().

public Listener()

try

//start listing on the given port

string hostname = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName();

array = System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(hostname);

if (array != null)

myListener = new TcpListener(array[0], port);

MessageBox.Show("Starting Listener");

th = new Thread(new ThreadStart(StartListen));

catch (Exception e)

MessageBox.Show("Exception 1: " + e.ToString());

//This method Accepts new connection and

//First it receives the welcome massage from the client,

//Then it sends the Current date time to the Client.

private void StartListen()

MessageBox.Show("Entering While");

while (true)

// Accept blocks until a client connects

MessageBox.Show("Accepting Socket");

//Accept a new connection

if (mySocket.Connected)

MessageBox.Show("IN THE LOOP!");
