Weird issue with TCP connections

[Glyph]

Server <- Client (client connects to server)

Server fail-> Client (server sends back a message tellign the client they failed to login)

Server <-xClient (client closes the socket because they were told they failed)

Serverx-> Client(server closes the socket because @error = 1 in the tcprecv)

= Time_wait in netstat

And, I tried it backwards, still got time_wait. But, this time, the timewait was on the client...

Does anyone know why this is?

How do you close a socket that fails to login?

after further research, it would seem that time_wait is nothing to worry about.

and
