Setting management system for network connection

A client that carries out setting for connection with a network, based on information received from a server connecting with the network, said client comprising:

• a setting memory module that stores intrinsic identification information allocated to each management unit on the network;
• an information transmission module that transmits the identification information to said server when said client is connected to the network;
• a reception module that receives a connection setting value and a setting program from said server, according to the identification information;
• and
• a setting control module that activates the setting program to carry out setting, based on the connection setting value.

A setting management method that causes a client connected to a network to implement setting for connection with the network, said setting management method comprising the steps, which are executed by a server connecting with the network:

• referring to a database that stores in advance a connection setting value intrinsic to a site, to which said client is connected;
• referring to a database that stores in advance a setting program, which runs on said client and is used for the setting;
• and
• transmitting the connection setting value and the setting program to a client newly connected to the network.

An automatic setting method that causes a client to carry out automatic setting for connection with a network, based on information received from a server connecting with the network, said automatic setting method comprising the steps of:

• storing in advance intrinsic identification information allocated to each management unit on the network;
• transmitting the identification information to said server when said client is connected to the network;
• receiving a connection setting value and a setting program from said server, according to the identification information;
• and
• activating the setting program to carry out setting, based on the connection setting value.

A computer readable recording medium in which a computer program that causes a client connected to a network to implement setting for connection with the network is recorded, said computer program causing a server connecting with the network to attain the functions of:

• referring to a database that stores in advance a connection setting value intrinsic to a site, to which said client is connected;
• referring to a database that stores in advance a setting program, which runs on said client and is used for the setting;
• and
• transmitting the connection setting value and the setting program to a client newly connected to the network.
