PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an address automatic setting method for connecting a network device to a network that attains automatic setting of an address, without the need for an exclusive server device, such as a server device adopting the DHCP(dynamic host configuration protocol) or expert intelligence. SOLUTION: In the case of connecting a device 20 to be set to a network 30, a setting device 10, having already been connected to the same network 30, calculates a network address to be set and confirms whether or not the network address is available. When the network address is available, the setting device 10 informs the device to be set 20 regarding the address by means of broadcasting. The device 20 to be set uses the received network address to conduct network setting.
