Problems running python program with srvany.exe

I must preface this with a full disclaimer that i'm very early in my python development days

I've made a simple python program that waits for a socket connection to the local ip address over port 20000. When it gets a connection, it pops up a message alert using the win32api.

#tcpintercomserver.py
import socket
import sys
import win32api

ip = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())

#socket creation
sock=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

#Binding
server_address = (ip, 20000)
sock.bind(server_address)
print server_address

#Listen
sock.listen(1)

while True:
# Wait for a connection
connection, client_address = sock.accept()
win32api.MessageBox(0,'MessageText','Titletext', 0x00001000)
# Close Connection
connection.close()

I also have a mated client program that simply connects to the socket. The script takes an argument of the host you're trying to reach (DNS name or ip address)

#tcpintercomcli.py

import socket
import sys

# Create a TCP/IP socket
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

# Connect the socket to the port where the server is listening
server_address = (sys.argv[1], 20000)
sock.connect(server_address)

This all runs fine as scripts. I then used CX_Freeze to turn them into executables. Both run just like they did when they were scripts.

Now i've taken the server script and connected it to a service with srvany.exe and use of the SC command in windows.

I set up the service using SC create 'intercom' binPath= 'C:distsrvany.exe'

Under the intercom service key in the registry, i've added the Parameter's key, and under there set Application to a string value c:dist cpintercomserver.exe

I then perform a 'net start intercom' and the service launches successfully, and the tcpintercomserver.exe is listed as a running process. However, when i run the tcpintercomcli.py or tcpintercomcli.exe, no alert comes up.

I'm baffled...is there something with the CX_Freeze process that may be messing this up?
