I have a program that sometime misses to close a tcp connection.
After the program has ended I can see that the port is taken. TCPViewer shows "non-existent" in the "Process" column.
If i try to "End process" or "Close connection" nothing happens.
If i reboot the server the port is released. But how can I tell Windows to release this port without a reboot?
SOLUTION: It was dw20.exe (Microsoft Error Reporting) that was holding it back.
