I cannot access internet from my laptop which was working previous to today. When I search for default gateway nothing shows up. It is totally blank. I am using a wireless network & this is the only pc with this problem. How can I fix this or add a default gateway. Please be specific as I this type of thing is new to me. Thank You
if you're getting your ip address assgigned via dhcp from your router you should also get the default gateway.
if you're using a manually assigned ip address you need to define the default gateway (usually the router's ip address). you say this is the only pc without default gateway which indicates you have other computers on the same network. most certainly your default gateway is exactly the same as on the other PCs. so look up the default gateway on another machine and enter it into your tcp/ip settings.

you may want to cross check the ip settings on another computer on your network. do NOT use an IP address that has already been taken but subnet mask and default gateway must be the same as with the other computers.
p.s. only the screenshots 1-3 are relevant for your problem.

example IP settings:
if your router is using 192.168.1.1
and pc1 192.168.1.11
and pc2 192.168.1.12then choose 192.168.1.13 for your laptop and 192.168.1.1 as default gateway (the router's ip address). also look up the dns server settings on another computer (may be set to automatic or to the router's ip 192.168.1.1)
