If GMail works then your connection works, period. The problem is elsewhere in your software config. "half-working" is not an option in the networking world.

If you have Ethernet, then no drivers are needed. Ethernet is ethernet, I mean a standard, no matter if the device is a wireless router, a wired one, a cablemodem or a DSL. For all the computer cares, it's talking to a network device, using standard ethernet and tcpip. Two things come to mind: MTU size, and Mac address. You could also try using a fixed IP address instead of DHCP to eliminate another layer of trouble. Do you have the cable modem's IP address as the default router? That's all you need, often.
