Problems with socket ReuseAddress option

[Bob]

I am trying to reuse a socket address but I am having problems. What I am
doing is creating a socket, connecting, then getting the LocalEnd point. I
then Disconnect and try to connect again using the same address but I get an
error 10048 [WSAEADDRINUSE]. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.
Here is the code...

ws_socket = new
Socket(AddressF amily.InterNetw ork,SocketType. Stream,Protocol Type.Tcp);
//Set the reuse address flag.
ws_socket.SetSo cketOption(Sock etOptionLevel.S ocket,SocketOpt ionName.ReuseAd dress,(int)1);

//Call connect which works.
ws_socket.Conne ct(...)
//Here i perform my socket work.
....
//Get the local endpoint & close the socket.
EndPoint endpoint = ws_socket.Local EndPoint;
ws_socket.ShutD own(...)
ws_socket.Close ();

//Now create a new socket and try to reuse the address.
ws_socket = new
Socket(AddressF amily.InterNetw ork,SocketType. Stream,Protocol Type.Tcp);
ws_socket.Bind( endpoint );
//Here is where it throws the exception.
// System.SystemEx ception {"Only one usage of each socket address
(protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted"}
System.SystemEx ception
ws_socket.Conne ct(...)

It is necessary to call
ws_socket.SetSo cketOption(Sock etOptionLevel.S ocket,SocketOpt ionName.ReuseAd dress,(int)1);
for the second instance of Socket class.
