Making a constant listening tcp server tcp

[Jeffo]

I was wondering would adding a while loop that is always true with a tcp listener inside would allow it to always listen for connecitons off a client?
As at the moment with the method i am tryin it only listen to a client once then stops listening
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
