socket time_wait problem

Hi,

I'm using sockets for communication. Everything works fine but when i use netstat on server,
There are many connections with "TIME_WAIT" state and are increasing! I shutdown and close the sockets on both client and server, so what's wrong?
Client is windows and server is linux.
Any idea?

Thanks b4
