You have defined a network which will allow on 2 ip address 172.25.65.29 and 172.25.65.30. You cannot have a default gateway other that the Ip .30 unless your machine is acting as a router.
Also the default gateway had to be a router since your tryin to access a network (dns servers) which doesnt belong to your subnet.
Probably you need to get your networking concepts clear before you try solving this one.
