Abstract:
An information processing apparatus which is capable of preventing communications with a desired external apparatus from becoming impossible due to settings on a proxy server. The proxy server is used to carry out communications on a main line with an external apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via the Internet. On a sub line, communications are carried out with an external apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via a local network. The main line or the sub line is selected as a line to be used. Communications with the external apparatus connected to the line to be used are carried out via the proxy server. When the line to be used is the sub line, communications are carried out directly with the external apparatus, which is connected to the line to be used, without using the proxy server.

Claim (Index 1):
An information processing apparatus equipped with a first line on which communications are carried out with an external apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via the Internet and a second line on which communications are carried out with an external apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via a local network, comprising:\n a setting unit configured to makes settings on a proxy server that is used to carry out communications with the external apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via the Internet; a line selection unit configured to select one of the first line and the second line as a line to be used; and a communication unit configured to carry out communications with the external apparatus, which is connected to the line to be used, via the proxy server, wherein in a case where the line to be used is the second line, the communication unit carries out communications directly with the external apparatus, which is connected to the line to be used, without using the proxy server.
