sure the router doesn't notice what you're doing to it :-)
I can have my router send a log packet to this
PC, so I can see what's going on.
You're describing SNMP, but SNMP and SMTP (email) are just two methods
by which a networking device can send its logs to an external device.

SNMP is disabled according to folks on ziggo forum.

Here is my question for you:

Is SNMP only used for "cable modem status page" ? for ISP side ?

Or is SNMP also used to access cable modem menu ?!

If later then this explains why I cannot access my cable modem menu anymore.

Go to this page.

Click "Proceed".

On the new page that appears, look for this row.

File Sharing Common Ports All Service Ports
------------ ------------ -----------------

Hold your mouse over "All Service Ports" and you should
see a "hand" icon. That means the "All Service Ports"
field is a "button". Click the button to kick off a test.
That should cover the status of the first 1056 ports
(1024 ports plus a few more).
