Understood.

Thank you.  What you have wrote here makes sense.  When/If I can get the net back up I will try this after work.  Also is 'antpool' belong to slush or some other pool?  Are you recommending this personally or dose the cube have to be in 'antpool'?

I factory reset everything after I did this step including reinstalling windows because after this step was complete I was no longer able to access my router or the internet.  This was the step, everything I did before this was fine and worked perfectly.

'On the cube config page, enter the server address the IP of the computer with the stratum proxy on. Enter it twice as the cube needs two pools to start mining, ie "192.168.1.102,192.168.1.102". If you are unsure what IP your computer is at, open cmd and type "ipcongif /all".'

Once doing this, internet dissapears.  This happened once last night after trying to troubleshoot the cube after reading your reply and redoing all the steps.  I factory reset Modem, router, Cube, and reinstalled windows.  Then I went to bed.  Woke up, got comp reconfigured, internet was back on.  Everything was good to try again.

I went back to the guide and started the process over.  When I got to the above step and set the IP to 192.168.1.102,192.168.1.102 and once I did that the internet went down again.  I tried everything I could resetting the router, reinstalling the software, checking cables, and still could not get the net back up.  Then I had to go to work.  Which is where I am at now till 10pmish tonight.  I was not joking about putting ten hours into this previously.  I'm now up to twelve and hoping when I get home and am able to reconfigure my system I will be able to get the net up and running again.

I apologize that I am not more fluent in this area and only ask as that  you please bear with me.  Also know that I am determined to get this up and running even if it takes me 40+ hours.  Thank you for your time and I will check back after work for your response.

I will tomorrow and get back to you!  Thank you for the reply!

I can't get my screen shots to upload.  Copy and past coming this way.  I know that the Block Erupter Cube costs more than it produces.  I just wanted to get it set up and hashing to learn the ways of the BitCoin.  I have read the fourm/s on how to set it up and have watched every YouTube Video I could find and after 10 hours I still cant get it hashing.  I have Factory rest the cube and could use someone to hold my hand to get this going.  Be gentle guys and gals, I'm squishy and respond well to 'Breaking it down Barney style.'
