Multi Thread TCP Server Exception

See more:

C#2.0

Hi,
I have created a TCP server which listens to client(s) executes some commands and returns the data. I am new to both socket & multi thread programming and I think i have written in multi thread , but an exception is happening when multi client are run. What i am trying now is that I am trying to run both server and multi clients from my local machine, will that be the issue?
Here is the code .

public class TCPServer
 {

     /// <summary>
     /// Local Variables Declaration.
     /// </summary>
     private TcpListener m_server = null;
     private bool m_stopServer = false;
     private Thread m_serverThread = null;
     private ArrayList m_socketListenersList = null;

     /// <summary>
     /// Constructors.
     /// </summary>
     public TCPServer()
     {
         //Change this to get the machines IP and  port as per appsettings
         IPAddress ipAddress = IPAddress.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["IPAddress"]);
         int portNumber = Convert.ToInt32(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PortNumber"]);
         if (ipAddress != null && portNumber > 0)
         {
             Init(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, portNumber));
         }
         else
         {
             Console.WriteLine("IP address / Port number not found!!!");
         }
     }

     private void Init(IPEndPoint ipNport)
     {
         try
         {
             m_server = new TcpListener(ipNport);
             string filePath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ExecutablePath"];
             if (!Directory.Exists(filePath))
             {
                 throw new Exception("Path not found");
             }

         }
         catch (Exception e)
         {
             m_server = null;
         }
     }

             m_socketListenersList = new ArrayList();


             // Start the Server and start the thread to listen client
             // requests.
             m_server.Start();

             }
             catch (Exception ex)
             {

             }
         }
     }


 }

The code I am using , I got it from a post in Code Project itself

When i try to run the second client instance I get error at the accpet socket area.

Please help me out

Thanks & Regards
