I have the following code which I want to implement as my server. As I understand it is async. and should allow connections from multiple clients...

public void Start()
{          
    TcpListener listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 10250);
    listener.Start();
    Console.WriteLine("Listening...");

    while (true)
    {
        IAsyncResult res = listener.BeginAcceptTcpClient(HandleAsyncConnection, listener);
        connectionWaitHandle.WaitOne();
    }
}

private void HandleAsyncConnection(IAsyncResult res)
{
    TcpListener listener = (TcpListener)res.AsyncState;
    TcpClient client = listener.EndAcceptTcpClient(res);
    connectionWaitHandle.Set();

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    var data = new byte[client.ReceiveBufferSize];

    using (NetworkStream ns = client.GetStream())
    {             
        // Test reply
        Byte[] replyData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(DateTime.Now.ToString());
        ns.Write(replyData, 0, replyData.Length);
        ns.Flush();
        ns.Close();
    }

    client.Close();
}

I have a test app which simply fires requests to my server. As you can see in the code the server just replies with its date/time. The test app sends say 20 requests which are simply test strings. For each of these requests it opens a socket, sends the data to my server and then closes the socket again.

This works fine with one test app running. However, if I open two test apps the second one cannot connect to the server. I thought because I am handling the request async. and because my test app opens then closes the socket before each call I could handle requests from multiple clients?
