Are you saying the *same* cable modem using the *same* ethernet lead is still working when you plug it into the G3? If so, I'd be inclined to suspect the iMac....

*However* istr something about registering the MAC address of your computer/router and this being tied to your DHCP lease? Or am I talking out of my backside? If this is the case then power off the modem and leave it for a few hours for the DHCP lease to expire and then plug it into your new iMac. What are your settings for Built In Ethernet in Networking in System Prefs? (Yes, I'm a Mac user)
