When a computer assigns itself an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address, it typically does not include a valid default gateway address. APIPA is used when a device fails to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, allowing it to communicate with other devices on the same local network segment. The assigned IP address falls within the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, but without a default gateway, the device cannot access external networks, such as the internet.
The default gateway refers to the "next-hop address"; the server or router your computer has to send packets to, to connect with the outside world. If the default gateway is not configured correctly, the usual symptoms are that your computer can connect within the local network, but it can't connect to the outside.You have to obtain the address which you should assign as the default gateway from your network administrator, or from your ISP.The default gateway refers to the "next-hop address"; the server or router your computer has to send packets to, to connect with the outside world.

Yes, that is what the default gateway is used for.
If I am reading your question correctly, I would imagine it is because the computer is not on the same network... **The computer has an invalid default gateway address**
Who you are on the computer can usually be an anonymity, you can be anyone you want. In internet working you are a host. You view and receive data from the internet. Your identity is your IP address. Your IP address is your default gateway to the internet that's who you are.
If we are using public ip address, we can browse the internet. If it is having an intranet address a gateway is needed as a router or firewall to communicate with internet.***********************************************Without default gateway you cannot browse internet. It doesnt matter if you are on public or private network. Default Gateway is required to route your IP packets from your network to the other networks.
Of the four items—IP address, DNS server, subnet mask, and default gateway—only the IP address is specific to your computer. The DNS server translates domain names into IP addresses, the subnet mask defines the network and host portion of the IP address, and the default gateway is the device that routes traffic from your local network to the Internet.
The command performs a variety of operations, centered around the computer's IP and MAC address, and the default gateway.
What is the default subnet mask for an IP address of 198.133.219.4?
class A address - default mask is 255.0.0.0
255.255.0.0255.255.0.0 is the default for a class B address
Having a valid IP address without a default gateway will result in network traffic staying within your LAN. Meaning, your computer lacks the ability to send data out of your network, preventing you from accessing resources outside your network, such as the internet.
Class A default is 255.0.0.0 Class B default is 255.255.0.0 Class C default is 255.255.255.0
