Since the operating system was re-installed did you remember to go to drivers and downloads, enter your service tag(DO NOT POST SERVICE TAG here or your post will get deleted, since it contains your personal information), and install these drivers in this order.
Desktop System Software or Notebook System Software Chipset or SMBus driver Processor Driver (if applicable) Video Audio (sound) Input Drivers (keyboard/mouse) Modem Network Card
After re-installation the driver was still on my computer, but I couldn't identify it due to missing text information in the file folder. After following Rick's link I knew the program's name (R159293) of the Ethernet controller. After installation everything's under control now.

Jeff,
I think this will help you. You should have a drivers disk that came with your computer.

Hi folks,
I had exactly the same problem.
After re-installation the driver was still on my computer, but I couldn't identify it due to missing text information in the file folder. After following Rick's link I knew the program's name (R159293) of the Ethernet controller. After installation everything's under control now.
Thanks to Rick!
Cheers
