Can't access to gmail (maybe a port problem with ipfw)

Post your firewall configuration. You should at least have a rule
to allow any tcp from your box to the world.
Here is an fragment from my home computer's firewall rules:

  ...
  pass tcp from any to any established	# allow established tcp connections
  pass ip from any to any frag		# allow fragmented segments
  pass tcp from me to any setup		# allow me to setup tcp connections
  pass udp from me to any keep-state	# allow me to setup udp-connections
  ...

This alone won't work, if you want your box to forward traffic
from other hosts in your local net.
