}

Possible to run something as simple as this as well (used port 80 as example):
$endpoint = new-object System.Net.IPEndPoint ([system.net.ipaddress]::any, 80)
$listener = new-object System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener $endpoint
$listener.start()

Must enter $listener.Stop() to stop listening to the given port.

Event simpler one-liner:
([System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener]80).Start()
