Hi,

I'm having an issue starting then stopping and trying to restart a socket or rather the IOService that's being used to service that socket.

The IOService and Socket are member's of my class that has a run method itself that is on a separate thread.

In my class constructor the Socket is passed into the IOService constructor.

The sequence is as follow's

Socket.Open Socket.Bind Socket.async_recieve_from

Thread Start ------

IOService.Run

Socket.Close

IOService.Stop ( the thread terminates due to the IOService.Run method completing )

Socket.Open Socket.Bind Socket.async_recieve_from

Thread Start ------

IOService.Run

This then return's immediately due to a "stopped" long in IOService ( on windows ) being set to 1.

So my question is really am i trying to use these in the wrong way as in should i construct a new Socket and IOService for each time i want to start them or is there some way to reset the IOService to it's original state beyond calling IOService.Stop.
