I have a Windows Service that does the following when started. When running via a Console application it works fine, but once I put in a Windows Service I get the below exception. Here is what I have tried so far:

• Disabled the firewall, also tried adding explicit exclusions for the exe, port, and protocol
• Checked CAS Policy Config, shows unrestricted rights
• Configured the Service to run as an Administrator Account, Local System, Local Service, and Network Service, each with the same result
• Tried different ports
• Also tried 127.0.0.1 just to see... same issue

This is wrecking my head, so any help would be greatly appreciated:

The Code:

var _listener = new TcpListener(endpoint); //192.168.2.2:20000
_listener.Start();

The resulting Exception:

Service cannot be started. System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions
