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
You've entered it into the "IP" box, you need to enter that into the "pool addresses" boxes. I have no idea why that would stop your computer accessing your router or internet though. If you're coming from fresh everything the only things you need to change on the Cube's configuration page are [remove all quotation marks]:
Gateway to "192.168.1.253"
Primary to "192.168.1.253"
Pool addresses to "192.168.1.102,192.168.1.102" - assumes your computer's IP has remained at .102 after you reset everything. It probably has.
miner user:pass to "Gstaylo_Cube:1,Gstaylo_Cube:1" - assumes you sign up to Antpool with the username Gstaylo, change as required.
Sign up for antpool
https://account.bitmain.com/sign_upInstructions for the next step, which is the "mining proxy". You need to download the mining proxy, extract it to its own folder in program files and then create a .bat file on the desktop containing the pool settings in the white box.
Taken from the instructions:
"Cubes use the extinct getwork protocol and so we need to use a stratum proxy. Download the proxy and open the file. (this file
https://mining.bitcoin.cz/media/download/mining_proxy.exe)"
"create a .bat file in notepad (save as .bat). Move the stratum proxy (mining_proxy.exe) to the file location below and put the following text inside for your
choice of pool [antpool]."
"cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Proxy
mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.antpool.com -p 3333" [remove the quotation marks]
You then should, *should* be mining.
