You would only need a default gateway address if you wanted to route packets outside your local area network.
To access an intranet web server, you typically do not need a default gateway address if the server is on the same local network (subnet) as your device. In this case, communication can occur directly using the server's IP address. However, if the server is on a different subnet, a default gateway is necessary to route the traffic appropriately.
Since this appears to be in the Verizon IP range it would be safe to assume they are your internet provider. You would need to contact them to ask what the default gateway address would be. If you are not using a static IP address the gateway IP should be provided by DHCP along with the other IP configuration information.
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).
No, it is not. A destination IP address may be any address, usually on a completely different network. The default gateway address is used to determine where to send packets that need to be routed outside of the current local area network.
There isn't one. The switch only knows about MAC addresses, and the default gateway isn't one of those addresses.
When users sign into the internet they may not realize they are using a series of gateways to access their favorite websites. A default gateway is used a lot in office settings where a lot of computers need to be connected to both their internal network and the internet.
Yes. You need to have an IP (either static or dynamic) You must have a subnet mask that corresponds to the IP address; and a gateway IP address that is on the same subnet.
When forwarding packets to a host on a different subnet, the local host uses the address of the default gateway, which is typically a router within the same subnet. The default gateway serves as an intermediary that routes traffic from the local subnet to other subnets. This address is configured in the network settings of the local host. Packets destined for outside the local subnet are sent to this default gateway for further routing.
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.
Go to the properties of the NIC, to the TCP/IP properties, then type in the address. You will need to make sure you give it a subnet mask, a default gateway. You will probably also need to give it a DNS address.
Routers need a default gateway setting to direct packets destined for networks outside their local subnet. The default gateway serves as an access point for traffic that cannot be resolved within the local network, allowing devices to communicate with external networks, such as the internet. This setting ensures that data can be efficiently routed and prevents packet loss when devices attempt to reach addresses beyond their immediate reach. Without a properly configured default gateway, devices would be unable to communicate with external networks.
Go to the properties of the NIC and type in the address. You need to make sure of the proper subnet mask and default gateway, if those are wrong the computer will not communicate correctly. You also need to use a good DNS server, or you will not be able to get to websites by name.
