Hi,
After more tests, it seems that it's more of a platform issue. While on windows, it works fine, on Linux and Solaris, the problem appears. On linux ( I tested on Kubuntu 8 and Suse 10.3 ) , my tests indicate that the OS is releasing the ports after a minute or so, while on Solaris the ports remain in use until system reboot. I mention that this problem does not appear with mina 1.1.7 which I previously used. I don't know what piece of code I might be adding to this mail to make things clear, so I give you the svn checkout address for my source : http://dshub.svn.sf.net/svnroot/dshub/trunk The file that starts the mina server and handles port adding/removing is HubServer.java and the IoHandlerAdapter subclass is SimpleHandler.java Thanks for helping out
