0.0.0.0 Default Gateway

Dear Experts,

Recently, I am taking tutorial of network class and there are a lot of network concept
i am getting confused, so I try to start to understand my home PC and network to solve my network concept problem.

At home, I get two PC with one at window 7 and the other at Window XP which is connected to one device we call ADSL something like the photo I include at web link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Adsl_connections.jpg

When I go to broadband internet, I log into window 7 or  PPPoE connection utility or
software with my login and password that is provided by my ISP company

After connection, I try ipconfig on cmd.exe,and I got the following message

PPP adaptor:
Ipv4 IP 219.77.x.x
subnet mask: 255.255.2555.2555
default gateway:0.0.0.0

I am using auto configuration mode for the connection setup for external IP and  internet .

The question:
1- the  device of ADSL means  that is router plus modem, Right ?
2- router means network switches like the 4 ports in the photo attached, Right ?
3- DefaultGateway  or Gateway for my case that is refered to the my ADSL router, RIght
4- Why the default gateway is 0.0.0.0 ?
5- I google default gateway 0.0.0.0, and found one article how to delete 0.0.0.0 default gateway (http://www.shayanderson.com/microsoft-windows/windows-7-fix-0-0-0-0-default-gateway-issue.htm) but it doesn't work, but 0.0.0.0 is still there,why?
6- I also tried to use the command
netsp int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt  & netsp winsock reset c:\winsock.log and reset the computer and logging again, but 0.0.0.0 is still there and not deleted, why ?

Hope you write more like for teaching student in a class for those questions

Please advise
Duncan

but how to set DHCP to yes, everything is done by auto configuration besides
typing my login and password to log into internet
SO far, be reminded,I can go to any website like yahoo.com or google.com so
my internet connectivity is no issue even I got 0.0.0.0 default gateway

Dear Patricksr1972,


You mean, actually, there is no default gateway for my case since I am using PPPoE
connection(point to point). THe gateway is ISP itself. SO users of ISP just need
directly connect to its gateway throught the modem at my home with login and password
that it is.

The default gateway is descibe the internal LAN larger network like it at Univeristy,
something like that

IS it right ?

Yes understood the term of gateway

the ADSL device is gateway to ISP
ISP gateway is gateway to internet

Anyway,  

how to enable DHCP  or let it "yes" ? So I can get back default gateway setting

COuld I not use auto configuration for the connection and still connected to internet
I mean don't use PPPOE connection, and I set those setting by manual like the article

Just want go to deep in the network technology and concept for this thread
I mean no use PPPoE to ISP connection, using other manual connection, Is it possible ?
like the article link above

for router, switch, hub definition

it seems the ADSL device that is router, modem, switch together
hub act as layer1, switch acts as layer2, router act as layer3 of OSI
thank for all of your reply, this will continue in the new thread
