The Question is: TCP/IP 5.1 on Alpha OpenVMS 7.2-1. Using some Fortan examples I can get a TCP client to talk with a TCP server using QIO calls for socket connections . However, if I interrupt then stop the client and try to run again. The connection takes about 1 minut e before they are talking again (I am trying to use same port). When trying to connect, the client gets an error 48 for iosb status,which is a SS$_DUPLNAM, on a QIO with IO$_ACCESS. Is there a way to make this timeout smaller and is it a parameter in TCP IP itself? I have tried TCPIP> SET CONFIG PROTOCOL TCP /DROP_COUNT=5 AND /PROBE_TIMER=5 and SET PROTOCOL TCP /DROP_COUNT=5 AND /PROBE_TIMER=5 with no luck. SS$DUPLNAM means that there is a network configuration error. No ports were available for connect ions. My server only shuts down and deaccesses the socket channel. I have also tried to close the connection channel and create and bind to a new channel with the same results. Even if I stop and restart the server, it takes about 1 minute for the clie nt to connect. I would like my client to alway use the same port, if this 1 minute timeout is a restriction that cannot be changed, do you have another solution? The Answer is : Please review the discussion of "lingering" and "reuse" in the TCP/IP Services documentation on IO$_DEACCESS and IO$_SETMODE. Specifically, see the TCPIP$C_LINGER and TCPIP$C_REUSEADDR itemcodes.
