I'm trying to use C# and HttpListener with a prefix of anything other than localhost and it fails (i.e. if I give it "server1", i.e.

http://localhost:1234 works, but

http://server1:1234 fails

The code is...

HttpListener listener = new HttpListener();
String prefix = @"http://server1:1234";
listener.Prefixes.Add(prefix);
listener.Start();

The failure occurs on listener.Start() with an exception of "Access is denied.".
