A home appliance network system and a method for operating the same. The home appliance network system enables a home server to detect a connection state between individual home appliances and a network, such that it can automatically assign an IP address. The home appliance network system includes: a plurality of home appliances connected to a network implemented to perform a home-appliance networking function; and a home server for initially assigning an IP (Internet Protocol) address identifying the home appliances, assigning a local IP address when the home appliances are not connected to the network, and automatically resetting an IP address when the home appliances are re-connected to the network. The home appliance network system can assign a local IP address to a home appliance such that the home server can control the home appliance even though a current network connection state is indicative of a non-connection state. Therefore, the home server can continuously and stably control and monitor a plurality of home appliances at all times, such that it can provide a user with a highly reliable home appliance network system.
