I have a loop that close a socket if it is not equal to NULL and create the socket again. I can execute this loop 255 times. Why? How can I destroy the socket in order to avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Can you elaborate on what it is you want your logic to do, and post some real code. It doesn't make much sense to continuously open and close your sockets (which is what you have said you are doing) without some other code in there to do something with them while they are open. It would really help us to help you if you can tell us what the application needs to do, and show us what your current socket code looks like. I don't think you will get any helpful comments otherwise (we can only guess what you are trying to do).
Thanks,

Can you post the code for this? From your description, the order of the loop sounds like:
if the socket is not NULL, close it.
create a new socket (socket is not null anymore).
