PURPOSE: An information processing apparatus, a method of controlling the same, and a storage medium are provided to ensure security even when there is the possibility that an information processing apparatus accesses a global network.;CONSTITUTION: An information processing apparatus has an interface unit which can access a network, and is manipulated by an external device through a network. The information processing apparatus has an MFC(Multi-Function Controller)(106), and the MFC judges whether or not the network connected to the interface unit is a local network. If the network connected to the interface unit is not a local network, the MFC unit limits the operation of the external device.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
