<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method that can identify each terminal equipment at the outside when accessing a network from the outside while a plurality of pieces of terminal equipment are being connected to the network, and does not require extra processing and operation when preprocessing is made for allowing the terminal equipment to be identified from the outside. <P>SOLUTION: When the terminal equipment A receives a router notice message including prefix, the terminal equipment A uses a MAC address stored in an interface 60 and equipment type data stored in a memory 70 to generate an IP address. More specifically, for example upper 48 bits are set to be the prefix, lower 64 bits are to be data based on the MAC address, and 16 bits between the upper and lower bits are set to be the equipment type data. In a router P, icon data corresponding to the equipment type data are prepared, and an icon corresponding to an equipment type is displayed in the case of connection from the terminal equipment at the outside. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
