Solution 1

Use the Socket Class[^] or a TcpClient [^]and a TcpListener[^]

The links all have examples with code.

Yes, you can write a service, and services can use sockets just like a normal app, though remember that you shouldn't produce user interaction (i.e. message boxes if there is a failure) in a service. You need to have access to the client machines to install the service; if this is for a company LAN talk to your IT department to get it installed on everyone's machine.
