listening for data . . .

[sde]

where in the famework should i look to make an function that logs data coming into my machine on a specific port?

for lack of a better description, it would be something like a sniffer.

If youre on XP/2000 (Which you are if youre programming in .Net) you can use the Winsock2 APIs, these allow interception of the headers on all packets going into the computer as well as any network traffic passing by. You cant actually view the packet data though and I have no tutorials for either.
