I have Internet acess without default gateway IP. Strange for me

0

Every time I want to connect to a new machine I am allowed to connect(wire) to the internet the next day. Once connected I can disconnect for hours and I get the internet again. The router is set to ´DHCP´ as well as the machine that I connected yesterday.

my settings on running computer (connected via switch Netgear) where Default Gateway IP is available:

today I got the internet connection leaving the machine open for whole night. ipconfig /all shows me this (without default gateway)

Is there anything I am missing? Some information how it happens and why ? There is another question I asked yesterday. Not being able to understand quite good I have changed the perspective & details in the question.

route print gives me this:

Your subnet mask has changed as well. You seem to be connected to a different network there. Do you have another (rouge) DHCP-server in your network? Or do you accidently mix up two independent networks? – gertvdijk – 2012-12-06T13:42:10.920

have you checked the output of 'route print'? IIRC if a gateway is not specified for a network, packets addressed to remote networks are sent out the interface that is up. since you only have one up interface that makes the decision easy. – Frank Thomas – 2012-12-06T13:45:24.353

@FrankThomas I have by now edited with results of route print hope helps identify the problem. Yes I do have two networks one from the switch and other from the direct router Netgear. – tough – 2012-12-06T14:04:08.583

@gertvdijk It shows me the Default Gateway when use route print. Do not really understand what is going on. – tough – 2012-12-06T14:13:20.550

1interesting. assuming that your 'Attansic L1' interface is on the 85.228.23.x subnet (looks like it is) there is a default gateway defined. I note that the gateway address is 192.168.1.1, which is not a reachable network, but the exit interface is defined, which is sufficient as long as the end system does not attempt to arp the gateway. – Frank Thomas – 2012-12-06T14:51:19.163

@FrankThomas Thanks, could you post it as a answer? I then tried to remove the manually added gateway´192.168.1.1´ , with ´ipconfig [release/renew]´ I got the new Gateway automatically. Would you please try to see the linked question please its a bit related, some hints may hit some solution. – tough – 2012-12-06T15:25:02.150

From what I see

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . :    216.146.35.35
                                       192.168.1.1
                                       192.168.0.1

192.168.0.1 appeared. Maybe it's really an interfrerence problem. Like @gertvdijk mentioned.

EDIT: Probably there's a misconfiguration on one of the two devices
