Force socket close

Question

Is it possible to close an established socket connection in Windows "manually" (e.g. using a command prompt tool)? I have several open sockets connected to a listening server, I can see them using netstat, and would like to close one of them manually.

Check out TCPView, which is a GUI to do this stuff: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx
