You will have to wait until the port frees up again. What you _can_ do is change the wait intervals using ndd. The following command will reduce the wait interval to 1 minute. ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 60000 The next time this happens, the port will free up in 1 minute. This is not recommended, however. The best way to handle this is to fix it in the client. Venky.
