Abstract

One or more embodiments may relate to an information processing device connectable to a network and including interfaces in which network identification numbers can be set. The information processing device may include: a network connection determination processor that determines whether or not first and second interfaces of the interfaces are connected on a same network; an identification number setting processor that sets, when the first and second interfaces are connected on the same network, a network identification number of one of the first and second interfaces in the other interface; and a stop-startup processor that stops the one of the first and second interfaces.

Claims (16)

1. An information processing device connectable to a network and including interfaces in which network identification numbers can be set, the information processing device comprising:

a network connection determination processor that determines whether or not first and second interfaces of the interfaces are connected on a same network;

an identification number setting processor that sets, when it is determined that the first and second interfaces are connected on the same network, a first network identification number of one of the first and second interfaces, in addition to a second network identification number of the other of the first and second interfaces, for the other of the first and second interfaces; and

a stop-startup processor that stops, when it is determined that the first and second interfaces are connected on the same network, the one of the first and second interfaces.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the network connection determination processor determines, when both the first and second interfaces are started up, whether or not the first and second interfaces are connected on the same network.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the network connection determination processor determines, each time a predetermined time elapses, whether or not the first and second interfaces are connected on the same network.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the information processing device is connected to an external device on the network which is compliant with TCP/IP.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the identification number setting processor, when it is determined that the first and second interfaces are connected on the same network, and the first network identification number of the one of the first and second interfaces, in addition to the second network identification number of the other of the first and second interfaces are set for the other of the first and second interfaces, deletes the first network identification number of the one of the first and second interfaces, for the one of the first and second interfaces.

6. An information processing device connectable to a network and including interfaces in which network identification numbers can be set, wherein the information processing device comprises a processor configured with programs to perform operations comprising:

determining whether or not first and second interfaces of the interfaces are connected on a same network;

stopping, when it is determined that the first and second interfaces are connected on the same network, one of the first and second interfaces; and

setting, when it is determined that the first and second interfaces are connected on the same network, a first network identification number of the one of the first and second interfaces, in addition to a second network identification number of the other of the first and second interfaces, for the other of the first and second interfaces.
