    Closesocket

    Do you need to closesocket() if the other side has already disconnected or it is unnecessary?

    if you do not close the socket, the resource may be leaked. it's a good idea to always close a socket when it is no longer in use.
    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?

    You only have to close the client socket after you send and recv your data.
    You also want to follow MSDNs preferred method for shutting down communications.
    I would close.
