ABSTRACT:
A communication control apparatus that enables a personal computer usually connected to a LAN when in use to be connected temporarily to the same LAN from a different location and via a different communication device, while ensuring security without time and effort spent on configuration. A communication control apparatus connected to a LAN including a server, personal computers and communication devices (e.g., routers) that relay data between the server and the personal computers is provided with: a storage device that stores a scheduled time at which a personal computer is connected for use at another location in the same LAN, information of a communication device for the other location and configuration information of the communication device for enabling communication with the personal computer; and a timer indicating a time. The communication control apparatus compares the scheduled time and the time indicated by the timer, and performs configuration of the communication device to which the personal computer is scheduled to be connected based on the information of the communication device and the configuration information that are stored in the storage device, before the scheduled time.
