Having said that, you can 'broadcast' messages to everyone: this is really only useful to send out an 'is anyone out there ' message, and the server respond with an 'i'm here at xyz address'; the conversation will then continue through a connection established to that address.

It is accurately this that you said, to send one broadcast to all and the server it answers with the IP, but I am not obtaining to make this the VS2005. It can help me

Bottom line is no. You could rephrase the question: Is it possible to send an e-mail to someone without knowing their address
