TCPListener will not accept incoming connection

I am having an issue recieving data from my asyncronous server on my non-asyncronous client (for reasons of variable interaction). Can someone tell me why I can't recieve a packet back from my server with the following code:

Code:

---

public static void StartListening()
        {
            TcpListener listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), 7345);
            listener.Start(1);

            while (true)
            {
                Socket socket = listener.AcceptSocket();
                NetworkStream stream = new NetworkStream(socket);

                byte[] readData = new byte[1024];
                int readBytes = 0;
                readBytes = stream.Read(readData, 0, 1024);

                string Message = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(readData).Substring(0, readBytes);
                HandleMessage(Message);
                stream.Close();
                break;
            }
            listener.Stop();
        }

It is really starting to bother me and I need some help, thanks!

i think you should create a thread that will start receiving packets after you a client has connected to your server...
