This is a little over my head and I'm not sure where to check for it.
Should it be set for active or passive?

Now that you mention it, I think this is the problem. There are a
number of things I can't do anymore since I got a DSL modem/router. I
can't check webmail or access NetAdmin from my browsers, and I used
to be able to when I had just dialup and Guarddog. I still have
Guarddog but I don't think it's the problem because nothing changes
when I disable it.
I'm suspecting I need to authorize certain ports in my DSL modem but
that's over my head, too. I don't understand the dialog boxes in the
Actiontec Admin panel.
Thanks,
