I am trying to make a simple server thread in QT to accept a connection, however although the server is listening (I can connect with my test app) I can't get the newConnection() signal to be acted on.

Any help as to what I'm missing here would be much appreciated!

class CServerThread : public QThread
{
   Q_OBJECT

protected:
   void run();

private:
   QTcpServer*  server;

public slots:
   void  AcceptConnection();
};


void CServerThread::run()
{
   server = new QTcpServer;

   QObject::connect(server, SIGNAL(newConnection()), this, SLOT(AcceptConnection()));

   server->listen(QHostAddress::Any, 1000); // Any port in a storm

   exec(); // Start event loop
}


void CServerThread::AcceptConnection()
{
   OutputDebugStringA("\n***** INCOMING CONNECTION"); // This is never called!
}
