Re: Socket buffer filling up

Josh,

    I believe your problem has to do with the fact you are only shutting
down the socket and not closing it.  You are running out of available
sockets so either you need to reuse the sockets you have, or you need to use
the close_socket api form the Winsock api's to release them so other
programs can allocate sockets.  I have extended Jerry's socket package to
have this functionality.   E-mail me if you would like this package
