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.

Thanks,
Tim.
