I'm a bit confused as to what the difference is between the Gateway and Interface columns.
I think that Gateway is the router that the packet should be sent to next and that the Interface is the port that will send it there.
Is this about right? Infact, just typing this has made it make a bit more sense

Based on your question about gateway and interface column. Gateway is the address of the local router and interface is the address of the NIC of the computer.
Type in ipconfig at the command prompt
Type in route print at the command prompt
You can see that Interface column correspond to the IP address assigned your NICMCP
