A PC without a Gateway is like a home without an EXIT door. Regardless the way that you connect to internet you still need a Gateway IP address in order to communicate with the world.

it is possible when isp internet provider gives you the login id from their portal to login i n that condition you login and use the internet .

that  works because they made configure our mac address to their login user name and password so in your computer nothing show in your lan adaptar properties ipv4 its given by the provider . So we just login through our username and password and use the internet .
