Abstract
A communication apparatus has a wireless interface for which a first IP address corresponding to a first mode of the wireless interface is assigned. A processor performs steps of receiving search information which is transmitted to a transmitting destination of a second IP address, from an external apparatus via the wireless interface, determining whether or not the second IP address corresponds to the first IP address corresponding to the first mode of the wireless interface, and transmitting interface information indicating the first mode or a second mode of the wireless interface, and apparatus information of the communication apparatus, to the external apparatus. The interface information indicating the first mode or the second mode is transmitted based on whether the second IP address corresponds to the first IP address.
