run a tcp server to listen to a port range

[michael sparacio]

I am not familiar with js but trying to get an example.js coded properly, this is only listening on the final port, the 10100...

var net = require('net');
var port = 10000
for (port = 10000; port < 10100; port++) {
  ;
}
var server = net.createServer(function(c) { //'connection' listener
  console.log('server connected');
  c.on('end', function() {
    console.log('server disconnected');
  });
  c.write('hello\r\n');
  c.pipe(c);
});
server.listen(port, function() { //'listening' listener
  console.log('server bound');
});

I assume I am making a dumb error??

thanks for any suggestions.
