Best Answer

Gateways are a type of router used in large networks for security purposes. They act as a middleman between a computer and the internet. When the "default gateway" field is blank, it means that there are no gateways between you computer and the internet. You have a direct connection to the internet.

What does a default gateway error mean?

In the computer networking setup, a default gateway connects a local network to the internet. The default gateway error generally refers to an error code where one server receives an invalid response from another server.


Why do you setup default gateway server address?

First, you have to know what the default gateway address for your LAN segment is. This might mean talking to your network administrator. Usually this address is set automatically by the DHCP protocol, so you don't need to do anything. If you are using a set of static addresses, then you can specify the default gateway address in one of the Windows network dialog boxes. For Unix/Linux, the 'ifconfig' command allows you to set the default gateway address. For server 2008 (including Server 2008 Core) use the netsh command to set the default gateway address (if not using DHCP).

What is getways?

I think you mean "gateway." The default gateway of any network is the device that connects the network to another network (for example the router in your home connects your Local Area Network (LAN) to the internet (a Wide Area Network). The IP address is typically signified by a 1 as the last octet (e.g. for a typical home network it would be 192.168.0.1) while all other devices on the network will have a 100+ value.
