What language and socket type are you using?
TCP requires a connection as you may know, but UDP requires no connection at all, you send your data right out. UDP packets may be lost or arrive in an odd order since they don't have the checking that is associated with TCP.
If you are using a winsock-like object, just make sure to bind to a local port, then send or listen for data, no need to .connect("bleh.com",80) or anything.
Yes, that's the problem, since there is no connection thing in UDP, i just can't find a way to make this work... any source codes or site or anything would be nice ...
Thks!
