1. A method for operating a portable terminal having a TCP/IP module to communicate packets with a mobile communication network, comprising:
receiving a router advertisement message from a neighboring router in the mobile communication network, the router advertisement message containing a network prefix to be used for the mobile communication network;
generating a global address by combining the network prefix and a device ID which is assigned to the portable terminal;
transmitting a notify message to the router, the notify message containing the global address generated; setting up the TCP/IP module to the global address for utilizing the global address in an application on the portable terminal;
transmitting a first message indicating a start of the application using the global address to the router, when a processing of the application is started; and
transmitting a second message indicating an end of the application using the global address to the router, when the processing of the application is ended.
