Hi,
can somebody out there tell me how to close a socket "quickly".
The problem I have is that after talking over a socket, I won't
need the socket any more and so I just close it, but it keeps
hanging around for about 2-3 min and blocks the queue for new
incoming messages. I know that a TCP-socket does something like
that. So I tried "shutdown(socket, 2)", but there is no difference.

the next I tried was ...

	setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (char *)0, 0)
	and
	setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_DONTLINGER, (char *)0, 0)

but it doesn't do what I want.
to test it I send messages in a loop to the server, (send is the client prog)

main()
{
	int i;
	for (i=0; i<=100; i++) {
		system("send host text");
		system("sleep 1"); /* If I enter this line, it will give the
				      best performance, whith or without
				      the setsockoptions and with or without
				      shutdown(socket,[0-2]) */
	}
}

can anyone give me a solution?
I can't make the client sleep, because if 10 users use the client prog. at
the same time

Thanks for any answer.
