Default Gateway shows strange config

[Guest]

Hello Folks

When I do an ipconfig /all command. Now when I look at the Default gateway I
see my ip listed in here along with the normal gateway that is usually there.

Example:
Default Gateway: **.**.64.1 <--the normally seen gateway
**.**.134.55 <-- my ip

I did make some adjustments today to tighten security using the registry
added these configs to the registry.

IGMPLevel - 0 off
EnableDeadGWDetect - 0 off
UseZeroBroadcast - 1 enabled

Im running no router, my machine is not setup to act as a gateway..just
running a cable modem connected to one computer.

What happened and why would my ip show up in the gateway list and is this
safe or should I change it so my ip is not under gateway ?

Thanks

Well nothing like answering your own question...well partly.

Ok I know what causes the Default Gateway to list your own IP along with the
gateway IP.

After narrowing it down It's UseZeroBroadcast - 1 enabled in the registry
that's causing it.

Anyone know why your IP would show up under Default gateway after enabling
UseZeroBroadcast ???

Is it safe to have it like this ?

Anyone....??
