Abstract
A communication apparatus includes a communication mode detecting unit and an IP address determining unit. The communication mode detecting unit detects whether a communication mode is a first wireless communication mode or a second wireless communication mode. The IP address determining unit (a) determines an IP address using first and second time out values if the communication mode detecting unit detects that the communication mode is the first wireless communication mode, and (b) determines an IP address using third and fourth time out values if the communication mode detecting unit detects that the communication mode is the second wireless communication mode. The first and third time out values are used for a first addressing method, and the second and fourth time out values are used for a second addressing method different from the first addressing method.
