A home network system that makes it possible to build a network with assured security, wherein network users need not have security expertise. For access attempts offered from a home node 21 - 1 in a community area network 5 - 1 toward an outside public network 1 through a path N 2 , a security server 11 - 1 need not execute an authentication process. The home node 21 - 1 rejects access attempts directly transferred from the public network 1 . The security server 11 - 1 executes the authentication process for an access attempt transferred from the public network 1 through a path N 42 . When the authentication is successful, connection of the access attempt to the home node 21 - 1 through a path N 9 is permitted.
