0.0.0.0 Default Gateway problem and solution

In case you are unfortunately encountering this same problem and looking for solutions: Here we go:

The problem:
I found my users PC having the below 0.0.0.0 default gateway when using Windows 7.


   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::356c:2966:d136:bef5%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.144
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
                                                 192.168.1.1

When this 0.0.0.0 default gateway appear, my user cannot get into Internet and some Windows network drive were not connected correctly.

The solution:
Found from the net, here is the solutions working for me.

1. Disable IP v6 (under network adapter properties, check off IP v6)
2. In command prompt (administrator mode)

C:\> route delete 0.0.0.0

C:\> ipconfig renew

3. Reboot the PC.

Hope the above works for you too. : )
