Did you run the Network Connections Wizard to add a new connection?
Assuming the reinstall was proper, and all the drivers for the NIC, (Network Interface Card), motherboard, etc were installed properly, then adding a new network should do it.
You may want to head along to your Internet Service Provider's web site to see what their instructions are for setting up a brand new computer to work with their ISP service. That's what you have effectively, a brand new computer.

This started last week with not enough memory, But I'm going to skip over all that (because I posted about that already) and get to this probelm.
Yesterday, my internet explorer on my log in was working but it wasn't working on my daughter's. I decided to redownload the internet explorer, since I had to do this for my other daughter a few months back.
Well, after that, no one's internet was working. I told my husband to remove what I had done and he did a system restore to last week sometime.
This didn't work either.
He decided to reinstall windows.
This did not work either and since it wiped everything out, we can not go back to anything.
When we look into the Network Connections, there is nothing listed there and I believe there should be.
If anyone knows how I can get my computer to recognize my modem and network so we have an internet connection again, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
