'System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener.TcpListener(int) is obsolete

[Darwin]

Setting a server to listen on 8080 for incoming connections. Written in
VS2005 on a Multi-homed machine.
I get the warning:
Warning 1 'System.Net.Soc kets.TcpListene r.TcpListener(i nt)' is obsolete:
'This method has been deprecated. Please use TcpListener(IPA ddress
localaddr, int port) instead.
on the code:
TcpListener tcpListener = new TcpListener(808 0);

Do I really have to specify every IP address that I want to listen on?

The program compiled by changing the code to:

Int32 port = 8080;

IPAddress localAddr = IPAddress.Parse ("127.0.0.1" );

TcpListener tcpListener = new TcpListener(loc alAddr, port);

But does it mean that I am only listening on 127.0.0.1:8080? Why do I have
to specify an IP address I thought that specifying a port automatically
meant that you would be listening on that port for all IP addresses?

Just want to understand why

No. Use IpAddress.Any to listen on all local addresses.

This is clumsy; IPAddress.Loopb ack is a constant field for this. And yes,
this only listens on 127.0.0.1, so external hosts can't reach it.
