A communication apparatus sets a first obtaining method for obtaining IP addresses of a first network interface and an external server with which the communication apparatus communicates via the first network interface, and a second obtaining method for obtaining IP addresses of a second network interface and an external server with which the communication apparatus communicates via the second network interface. If the first obtaining method is manual obtaining, if the second obtaining method is automatic obtaining, and if setting of a default gateway has been set with respect to the first network interface, the communication apparatus controls communications by using at least the IP address of the second network interface obtained by the automatic obtaining without using the IP address of the external server obtained by the automatic obtaining via the second network interface.
