Have you run

ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 30000

That should help. I'm not an NMS guru by any means and it could that the version of NMS that you're using has that problem. I suggest upgrading at least to the latest version of NMS, if you have to stay with NMS. Best solution would be to migrate to iMS.
