If you take a look in preferences, under network.. are you pulling an IP Address? You may need to set the Network settings back to TCP/IP DHCP again, if you had something else in there previously.

also make sure that in network preferences that you are using the ethernet port and not the built in 56k modem as your main port., also, do you have the firewall on?

by "internet" what do you mean? are you using IE or Safari? also, is the IP address that it's pulling in your Router/Cable Modem's correct range, or is it just pulling a bogus address?

if you reinstalled the OS and have the same problem, a s/w problem is fairly limited, may be a hardware problem?
