    Can't say for sure what are you doing, but it sounds like
    you are mixing up the listening and accepted sockets.
    You are supposed to be listening continuously on the
    listening socket. When a connection arrives you should
    accept it and continue listening right away. The accepted
    socket carries out all communication with the client, the
    listening socket carries no data.
