Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus which can communicate with an image processing apparatus, said information processing apparatus comprising: a first network interface that connects the image processing apparatus via a first network; a second network interface that connects an other information processing apparatus via a second network; a first setting unit that sets a first network address, which is a network address of the image processing apparatus, as a network address of said second network interface; a second setting unit that sets a second network address different from the first network address as a network address of said first network interface; a first determining unit that determines a third network address different from the first network address and the second network address as a network address of the other information processing apparatus based on the first network address and the second network address; a transmitting unit that transmits the third network address determined by said first determining unit to the other information processing apparatus; and a communication controller unit, wherein the information processing apparatus communicates with the other information processing apparatus via the second network using the communication controller unit and the first network address, and communicates with the image processing apparatus via the first network using the communication controller unit and the second network address.
