When you reinstalled the OS, did you also reinstall the Chip set drivers?  The best place to get the most current driver for that NIC is from Broadcom.

What speed is set for the connection?
100
10
Gigabit ?
In some cases, auto(detect) may be faulty in practice and you may get better results to force a given speed, such as 100 Full or 100 half or 10 half or 10 full (duplex)
