I had this problem last week on a Dell 2008 SBS Server.

The hotfix worked, after 2 reboots, and solved the default gateway problem.

However, as a consequence, I can now no longer access Printers or Network and Sharing Centre.

If you try to open either, it just takes forever, but doesn't ever error. You just have to close the window down.

It does mean we can't add/manange printers now.

Any clues/ideas/help would be appreciated, it's driving me mad.

If it happens again, open regedit, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<GUID>\DefaultGateway

and double click the DefaultGateway value.

See if there is a blank line before the actual default gateway IP.

If so, it is most likely the issue in KB 973243.

973243 The default gateway is missing on a computer that is running Windows
Server 2008 or Windows Vista after the computer restarts if the default
gateway is set by using the Netsh command

You can install that update to prevent it from happening in the future.
