Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

What I want to do is to completly close the socket.
My application opens a socket, transfer things, and once finished I want 
to close the socket.

From what I understand I'm supposed to call shutdown() then close() but 
that doesn't work for me :/

It's hard for me to provide a small example, because haveing 
non-blocking sockets isn't donein 2 lines :/
