    Open up a command prompt and type ipconfig, and hit enter.

    What IP address/subnet mask/default gateway does it give? Can you ping the IP address of your wireless access point/internet router?

    If you reinstalled then internet explorer might have gone back to its default setting which (I think) is to dial a network connection. Check that you have set this to 'never dial a connection' in tools, internet options, connections. If its not that then not sure.

    WEP / WPA key or password will need to be reset if you have reloaded the OS, assuming your wireless is encrypted.

    Also, go to Start, Run, type cmd in the box, click OK, then type "ipconfig /all" at the command line and post back the response.
