Yup ethernet is far superior.
Hmm... check the properties of the ethernet network connection, and make sure that none of the details is specified (ie ip, dhcp server and dns).
Also, when you are switching between usb and ethernet are you turning off the power to the modem?
If you have checked the above, and still getting the error, go into the properties of the network card in device manager and the advanced details. There is normally an option to specify a physical address (or mac address, or adaptor address). In here, type the mac address that is on a sticker on the cable modem, but increase the last digit by 1, ie if it is 3, it will go to 4, if it is b it will go to c. (note the range used is 0-9 and a-f). Then try rebooting everything and connecting on ethernet again.
