Changing Socket Options on WCF net.tcp binding

Question

I have a .net 4.0 WCF application that uses the net.tcp binding and implements some service.
I would like to set a TCP socket option for that binding (ReuseAddress option. A related question explains why I want to do that).
If I was working with Raw Sockets I could use the Socket.SetSocketOption Method.

Is there a way to somehow extract the underlying Raw Socket from the net.tcp binding in order to change its options? Or some other way to set this option?

Amir, Thank you for your suggestion of adding ReuseAddress option. However, we need understand better what was your concrete scenario. In the related question (Changing Socket Options on WCF net.tcp binding) context, have you enable port sharing? Seems like porting sharing could result with similar symptom. Basically, we need concrete repro program and setup steps to understand better of the problem. If anyone still runs into the problem or see the need of adding reuseAddress option, please report the bug at http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio with repro program and repro steps. Thank you.
