in your chat server after you create the socket (before you bind) you should 
do
yoursocket.set_reuse_addr()

else ths os won't let you reclaim, how long it won't depends on your os and 
your configuration. my linux box lets me do it after a couple of minutes, but 
its pretty depedent on your system.
