I wrote a utility that would read gathered IP requirements and apply the configuration. Attempting to "idiot-proof" the thing, I'm wondering if all the common info is required: Obviously, local IP address and a destination host when transferring data is required, but is Router/Default Gateway and Subnet Bitmask always required. If I apply a rule that these are required fields when they are not, or not available...need I explain?

Not sure what you are trying to do.
On one hand it looks like data transfer, which only needs src and destination IP, and port if needed.
If you are doing this for another application or just data gathering then it depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

All I'm trying to do is apply an IP configuration using WMI in c#. Default port settings are OK. My concern is that the screen which accepts the input is forcing all the fields prompted for: IP Address, Gateway, and Subnet Bitmask, when these are not required, which it sounds like Gateway and Subnet Bitmask are not required. I don't know what any particular client will require.
