Embodiments of a method and apparatus can establish a network using pre-set IP information when a host is coupled to a network. In an embodiment of a network establishment method, ARP response information can be compared with pre-stored set information using a predetermined calculation so to decide a set, an ARP can be broadcasted to determine whether the decided set is applicable to a network, and, if a response for one or more ARP is received, the decided set can be established as a network. In another embodiment of a network establishment method, an ARP can be broadcasted using pre-stored set information, and if a response for the ARP is received, a network can be established. According to embodiments of the invention, by applying an appropriate available setting among pre-set TCP/IP settings without manually establishing a TCP/IP connection, direct connection (e.g., Plug-and-Play) of a network can be performed.
