I got it. I'll check client's packet sequence.

Your problem is something else, not the TIME_WAITs on the listen port. more likely TIME_WAIT on the client site is a problem, as these blocks free source ports for making outgoing connections. tis 2008-02-26 klockan 08:53 +0900 skrev S.KOBAYASHI: > Hello Henrik, > Thank you for replying.
