Re: Altering the SOMAXCONN value.

 Phil & Doc, 

        What is the code process here ?? Do you connect do something and 
go away, or do you connect and stay connected for awhile.  Are you using 
a select() in the code ?  Are you selecting so_reuse ? 

        Sorry for so many questions, but this sounds like a problem I have 
been working on for awhile with some code.
