Problem closing sockets

[Will]

I have a client and a server, the server executes bind(), receives data,
and then I close() the file descriptor. In the client side I
connect(), send() data and close() the file descriptor also.

Everything works fine, but when I restart the server it gives me an
error in bind, the error description is "Address already in use" or
something like that, and it works just fine about a minute after I first
close the socket.

Any idea of how to close the socket without keeping the address used?

int opt = 1;

setsockopt(server_sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (char *)&opt, sizeof(opt));

This is off-topic here, we only discuss the standard C language, a
better place to ask would be comp.unix.programmer.
