we went into "hardware" desceiption is DLine type is ethent device is etho status is ok
we went into " IPsec" profile  type destination  nickname  all are blank

I have some numbers as on the sheet I downloaded
some start 255 some 192.  I am just not certain which ones go where?

thank you for writing. you were the only one to reply

Ok. let me rephrase the question because I'm not sure you understand what I'm asking. In order for us to help you you've got to tell us which "type" of internet connection you have.

(1) dialup
(2) DSL or Cable (broadband)

A dialup connection requires a different type of configuration. The stuff your ISP tech had you looking at has little to do with actually "creating" a connection but rather tweaking an existing connection. So before we can go any further please tell us which type of internet connection you've got.
