ABSTRACT:
An electronic device connected to a network at a first network address set by AutoIP or the like detects the existence of an address server such as a DHCP server on such network. If the address server is detected, then it is determined whether or not the electronic device is transferring data to another device. If it is determined that the electronic device is transferring data, the device changes the first network address to a second network address acquired from the address server after the transfer of the data is finished.
