hello,

if you are sure there is no process associated with this port (you can
try using lsof) and you have waited long enough there is little chance
you can do this without rebooting the machine. the default TIME_WAIT
expiration interval is 4 min. you can tune this and set it to a lower
value using: ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 60000 (the default
is 240000 milliseconds).

greetings,

Stoyan
