c++ socket

Hi,
I need to send a message to the client (I have the IP address, MAC address, Usr name of the client) from server.
I do not have any kind of agent at this client who can listen from server.

I do not want to use "Net Send" or "Msg.exe".




Thanks

I don't think it's possible to have a client receive a message without having the client listen for a message. If the client doesn't listen, the message is essentially just ignored.

It sounds to me like you want the "server" to send a letter to the "client", but have no way for the client to open the letter.

Thanks for your reply,
If I go for "net send". Messenger service should be run at client side (this is for Win-XP).
What is the similar way in Vista, Win7,Server2008, Server2012 and Win8?
Like Messenger service should I need to run any kind of service at client and server?


Your answers are most welcomed.


Thanks
