A method and apparatus for connecting an information processor to any network to perform communications are disclosed. A setting information indicating network settings to be set for an information processor when performing communications via a network is stored. A route setting packet, which is sent by a network device connected to the network to which the information processor is connected, is acquired to set a route to be used by the network device to communicate with another device. A device identification information for identifying a network device from which the route setting packet was sent is extracted from the route setting packet. The information processor is allowed to perform communications by acquiring the setting information associated with the extracted device identification information, and the information is specifically set for the information processor.

Method for use by an information processor

The information processing apparatus comprises a network setting information storage portion for storing network setting information corresponding to each of a plurality of locations; a communication interface setting information storage potion for storing communication interface setting information corresponding to each of plural pieces of network setting information; a network setting portion for selecting one piece of network setting information corresponding to the location of the information processing apparatus; a communication interface setting information setting portion for selecting one piece of communication interface setting information from plural pieces of communication interface setting information associated with one piece of network setting information; and a communication portion for performing communication based on setting according to the one piece of network setting information and the one piece of communication interface setting information.
