A method and a system for judging the fault state of an RG(Residential Gateway) in a home network system are provided to effectively operate a home network server by transmitting the fault information of an RG to the home network server and judging whether faults have occurred in the RG and other electronic devices. A system for judging the fault stage of an RG(130) in a home network system comprises the Internet(120), the RG(130), and a home network server(110). The Internet(120) provides an access path for message transmission/reception by using the SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) in TCP/IP. The RG(130) transmits a state change request message containing information on a fault through the Internet(120), and receives a state change response message indicating that the fault has been cleared. The RG(130) receives a state search request message, collects fault information and state information in response to the state search request message, and transmits a state search response message containing the collected fault and state information through the Internet(120). The home network server(110) receives the state change request message from the RG(130), updates an RG management list by using the fault information, periodically searches the RG management list, and judges whether the fault has been cleared. In case it is judged that the fault has been cleared, the home network server(110) transmits the state change response message to the RG(130) through the Internet(120). However, if it is judged that the fault has not been cleared, the home network server(110) transmits the state search request message to the RG(130) through the Internet(120).
