That's another reason to just use the OS's native TCP/IP stack (it'd take care of putting the appropriate link-layer header on the packet), as was suggested in another message; yet *another* reason is that, unless the server is on the same network link as the machine sending the packet, you'd have to worry about routing the packet.
