You need to update your drivers. Find out what your network card is and use a working computer to find the drivers. You will probably have to use a flash drive.

Using another computer, go to your computer manufacturers wesite. If you are lucky they will have a driver download page and you can download the network driver and burn it to a CD. Now you can take your CD to your computer and install the driver.

Sounds silly but did you remember to re-install your motherboard drivers after the re-install ? ?
