PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a network communication device and a method that can effectively use network resources. SOLUTION: When processings of functions using a network are performed and there are a plurality of NICs (Network Interface Card) available, a multifunction device connects with a LAN through NICs selected according to selection information on the NICs by functions stored in a setting storage unit to perform the processings of the respective functions. Specifically, when network printing function is progessed, network print selection information stored by setting memory is followed, when network scanner function is processed, network scanner selection information stored by setting memory is followed, when Internet protocol-facsimile function is processed, Internet protocol-facsimile selection information stored by setting memory is followed, it connects with LAN through NIC chosen according to selection information, the processings of the respective functions are performed.
