Sending Info Packets To an IP

[Dafly]

I am looking for a way to send packets of info to an ip address with the winsock control, and without connecting to the ip address is their away with to do this with the winsock.ocx?


Thank you,

Hmmm, interesting. Is that like asking the mailman to deliver a letter to a mailbox, but without opening the mailbox? Could be a neat trick. Let me know if you find out how and what the benefit would be for a particular application.
I did notice in C++ that you can "transmit" on an emergency channel with the same socket connection or some such. Kind of like the operator cutting in on your phone call.
Wait it just clicked...Do you mean "Datagram socket" as opposed to a "Stream socket"?
Datagrams are "connectionless" — no explicit connection is established; you send a datagram message to a specified socket and you can receive messages from a specified socket.
Try that.

That is exactly what I am trying to do, but I am not all that familar with the use of sockets, let alone datagram. could you explain this or point me in the right direction to find info?

Thank you,
Jeremy
