Server 2012 not getting gateway

Question

Hi&nbsp;We are using Dell server virtual machines in VMware. I restarted the Dell server and then all our virtual machines started one by one, but unfortunately, our WSUS server is showing no internet. It shows in the domain but the internet is not working.&nbsp;I tried to reset the LAN adapter by disabling/enabling it, restarted the machine twice, and troubleshooted by clicking on "Troubleshoot problems"&nbsp;but with no success. After troubleshooting, it shows&nbsp;"The default gateway is not available".&nbsp;I checked the DNS server, virtual machine entry is there. I cannot ping this server.&nbsp;Any solution plz.

I see the PS in your Windows Server 2012 is old, so it is missing the commandlets. Pardon me. I do not want to ask you to install WMF 5.1, lot of complexity here and risk depending the update state.From my end the basics look fine. netprofile and ipconfig look good. hard to TS from remote why  it does not work.what you can see it can only talk to local network.NLA does not detect internet. IPv4 Connectivity would be: Internet then. There is no other way but to debug networking, VLAN, Gateway reachable, DNS lookup (Resolve-DNSname yourDCDNSName.domain.comResolve-DNSname www.google.com if these commands do not exist try nslookup instead of Resolve-DNSName.
