An information processing apparatus requests, via one of networks, an apparatus to carry out process, the apparatus being connectable to the networks; receives identification information that is used to identify a user; acquires sets of the communications information that includes a first set of the communications information to be used to connect to the apparatus via a first network of the networks; determines, based on the identification information, whether to use the first network to request the apparatus to carry out the process; when determining to use the first network to request the apparatus to carry out the process, switch a second network of the networks used to carry out communications, to the first network to be used to carry out communications, the second network being different from the first network; and requests, via the first network, the apparatus to carry out the process.
