Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a new automated home network diagnosis as a concept and practical tool. We show three technical requirements for home network diagnosis. Lack of systems or tools satisfying all requirements together is our motivation. The concept that configuration settings once determined through proper configuration tasks guarantee correct behavior of devices and applications is the underlying design principle. The proposed diagnosis tool is realized (1) by integration with the home network autoconfiguration system of our previous research developments and (2) as a daemon process on a home user PC. The intended diagnosis is achieved by matching the current configuration settings to those of the last proper settings that the diagnosis tool takes over from the autoconfiguration system. We implemented a prototype diagnosis tool integrated with the autoconfiguration system. The memory footprint of 10,600Kbyte and management traffic required for diagnosis of 215.6bps are small. The deployment of the previous version of the diagnosis tool for five months showed that the ratio of the number of technical calls that related to problems raised after initial configuration to the number of all subscribers per month decreased from 0.60% to 0.38%.
