There's nothing you can do about a hung port short of rebooting the machine. This has always been a problem with the netserver and flashserver objects (maybe someone should look into it). I avoid using netserver because of this and instead use netsend/netreceive to a perl server that mediates. I never have the problem of hanging ports with perl.
How about having a few different ports and using another if one is not available? Since the TCP/IP stack is still working (it just thinks the port is still in use) there is nothing to stop you using another one.
