use netsh to reset the default gateway?
Posted on 2011-03-25
I am using the following command in an automated rerouting script.
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" gateway=172.20.2.252 gwmetric=0
To restore the route, I want to return the interface to full DHCP, and I use:
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source= dhcp
The interface changes back to dhcp, but the default gateway does not change back to the dhcp value. If you open the network connections TCP/IP properties, the interface is set to DHCP, but there is a "ghost" value in the default gateway box. I want to clear all values and let DHCP restore them.

First, remove TCP/IP service from Local Area Connection. Then add it back and maybe it works. If this method does not work, remove your Network Card and re-install it.
Unfortunately I don't think your script would uninstall and re-install the NIC card every time it may be possible to script the ipconfig/renew.

All these have possibilities but just depends on what type of script you are running

Have you tried -
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source= dhcp
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" source= dhcp
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
