Very Computer

Hi

I am very new to this, please have patience
I am writing a small test program (serv/client) where the server
uses bind on a socket.
My problem is; when the data stream between the two programs
(serv/cli) are interrupted by say a kill signal or something else
causes the programs to exit, the port on the server side is
busy for a few minutes meaning no connection is accepted
until this is resolved. How can I avoid this or is there a configuration
file where I can set or specify the duration for this ?

Thanks in advance

Since you're new, maybe you should start by reading the Sockets FAQ.  It
answers your question.
