Vista - Ethernet Multiple Networks detected, Local access only, Only one exists

I have an HP pavillion dv9894ca AMD with the nForce Networking Controller.
After every reboot, when I plug into an ethernet network, the Network and Sharing shows two networks both of which are local only. Many times even after a successful connection, the adapter keeps trying to identify some unidentified other network.

I have read over fifty posts regarding this issue and in half of them the tech just dropped the forum, issue unresolved, microsoft included.

I have tried the most recent microsoft and Nvidia drivers, to no effect.
IPV6 is off.
Wake from network is off.
I frequent different networks so it is not a router issue, not can I set the router.
Wireless has no issues.

Occasionally disabling and enabling the driver resolves the issue till next boot.

The only issue I see when I ipconfig is there are two gateway IP addresses,
0.0.0.0 and the correct one as you can see below.

There are two default gateways that is the issue.

Excellent. Apparently I wan't typing in the right keywords to find this fix or something.

Checked route table, as you can see below, had 0.0.0.0

Solution was to type route delete 0.0.0.0, in command prompt.

Restarted with instant full connectivity.

Thank you for resolution.
