mssql tcp

Hi When I connect to my MSSQL server (internal) with mssql_connect, make a few queries etc and then close the connection link. It creates a TCP connection each time (for every query). I'm running Win 2003 STD, IIS6, PHP5, MSSQL2000. The problem is that the connection doesn't close correctly so after a few minutes I will have a lot of TCP connections that looks like this: (With "netstat -ap tcp") TCP w1new:22953 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22954 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22955 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22956 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22957 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22958 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22959 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22960 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22961 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22962 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22963 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22964 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT TCP w1new:22965 w1new:ms-sql-s TIME_WAIT After rebooting and running a few minutes the list is full and Windows begins to act really strange, not so strange when mssql has more then 10000 TIME_WAIT connections waiting to close, but how to close them???? mssql_close(); has no effect to this problem. I changed the TCPTimeWaitDelay value to 30 in regedit to increase connections, but still a huge problem. Anyone experience this before or knows if converting to ODBC would work better?
