I forgot to mention the method of debugging this modem and producing the log:   
      
   Being a programmer myself I used the logging functionality of the cable modem   
   as a "debugger" by using the refresh F5 functionality of the webbrowser to get   
   a constant update of the log, and using the back button of the browser as a   
   breakpoint. The    
   webbrowser apperently remembers the last successfull transmission of the cable   
   modem/websites/webservers. Firefox was used for this.   
      
   Exact method is as follows:   
      
   1. Connect modem as usual.   
      
   2. Power on modem.   
      
   3. Reset modem   
      
   4. Surf to http://192.168.1.1/AdvEventLog.asp   
      
   5. Keep pressing F5 until the log disappears/connection reset message.   
      
   6. Press back button of browser and examine last good log.   
      
   Bye,   
     Skybuck.
