An apparatus, method, and medium of automatically configuring a network address are provided. The method of configuring an address of one of a plurality of nodes on a subnet, the method comprising the operations of: obtaining an ID of the subnet from a packet transmitted from a router on the subnet; and configuring an address that none of the nodes on the subnet use as an address of the node among addresses including the obtained subnet ID. Accordingly, an IP address of the node can be automatically and unmistakably (correctly) configured in the current network environment in which performing packet sniffing is difficult.
