How do I reset the license server port

[Boaz Bezborodko]

I am running FP on Windows machines off a Samba server.  The License 
manager is also running on the server.  Occasionally I have a problem 
where the license manager doesn't seem to be responding properly.  When 
I execute 'p' the screen goes blank and just stays there.

To solve this I find that I have to stop the license manager, but I have 
to wait a period of time before the port again becomes available for the 
license manager to start up.  If I start it too early then the it 
doesn't start up and the log reads "FATAL  Server Port already in use."  
If I run a 'netstat' on the server it shows that the port isn't in use, 
but the license still manager won't start.  After a period of around 2-5 
minutes starting the server does work and then there are no problems.

Is there a way to force the the port available any faster?
