Windows Server 2008 Cannot Ping or Connect to Internet

I am building out some Windows Server 2008 machines. One of them couldnt be pinged, couldnt connect to the Internet, but could reach servers on its own subnet. When I ran an ipconfig I could see that one of the default gateways was 0.0.0.0. When I went to network properties it wasnt there. I tried deleting the entry from the registry, it didnt work.

The solution was simple: run the command route delete 0.0.0.0 and then go into network settings and add the real gateway again.
