A network switching method and apparatus of a mobile terminal for enabling the mobile terminal to switch between private and public networks for portable Internet access is provided. The network switching apparatus of a mobile terminal includes a connection manager for managing public network information, private network information including mappings between public base stations of a public network and private base stations of a private network, and authentication information, and a control unit for determining whether a signal strength of a signal received from a public base station, that is associated with a mobile terminal, is less than a threshold value, for determining, when the signal strength is less than the threshold value, whether to switch to a private base station of a private network mapped to the public base station, and for establishing, after determining to switch to the private base station, a connection with the private base station of the private network.
