I have a need to send a simple text message to a IP Address and/or a MAC Address. Is there any magic out there that does not require any client software on the other end?
Mostly I need to ask who is on the other end within my network.
Discussion is locked
If you did send a message, why would the machine at the other end answer? Your project appears doomed.

we have the same concern. I also need to send a message to a mac. ip address but to tell them where to buy wifi credit in order to access the internet. I have a wifi business, PIN code base, users at 500 meters can connect but they can only connect upto the portal where they can enter the wifi credit pid code.
Have you already gotten a software for that? can you share it to me?
