ABSTRACT:
In a method for automatically address information and network environment information in networks mutually connectable to each other under a predetermined protocol network environment, step (a) is to manage, in a setting device connected to one of the networks, address information and network environment information used for each device connected on of the networks to operate under the predetermined protocol network environment. Step (b) sends, from a setting-needed device moved from one of the networks to another network or newly joined to one of the networks, a request message for requesting address information and network environment information to the setting device. Step (c) makes, in the setting device, a correspondence between a device name of the setting-needed device and a network address of the setting-needed device and sending back a reply message to the setting-needed device from the setting device, the reply message in order to send the address information containing the device name and the network address of the setting-needed device and the network environment information. Step (b) stores, in the setting-needed device, the address information and the network environment information sent from the setting device, so that the setting-needed device can operate under the predetermined network environment.
