Abstract: In order to receive network connection service, a user needs to configure communication information by himself/herself to a terminal, which the user himself/herself uses, whose procedure has been complicated. On the other hand, it is difficult to ensure the security of the terminal device if the connection from a connection service company by remote processing is permitted without limits. A network connection service company such as an Internet service provider communicates communication information, which is allocated to each terminal device, to an exclusive server of a communication configuration and administration company, and the exclusive server is designed to configure the communication information of each terminal device by the remote processing.
