C# Opening Port

[stevenk140]

On my webserver, I would like to open a port for a client to listen to (

http://www.mywebstie.com:2000).

How would I do this?

For custom server code I have written.

Socket programming is not easy, but you can start by looking at the sample code in the IPEndPoint class (part of the System.Net namespace). It shows opening a socket to a remote server and retreiving the contents of the homepage there. Only difference is instead of using port 80 in the IPAddress constructor, you'd use your port 2000.
