You can set the socket options like this

_socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.DontLinger, True)

If it does not work, try some other options

_socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.DontLinger, false)
_Socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress, True)
_Socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.ReceiveTimeout, 500)
_Socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.SendTimeout, Timeout)
