No problem. Make you socket listening and call SendTo to send any data to the given IP/Port. At first glance, a single socket is needed for everything provided each device send to the same listening UDP port. > Our IT dept. now told me that using fixed IPs is a no no (I agree ;-)) I don't see any relation between using fixed IPs and your problem.
