Did you install the motherboard (chipset) driver before trying to install network adapter drivers?

I actually Installed Chipset after Marvel(Ethernet controller)

If it says Networks are available then you'd left click to connect to your network.

If this fails, rightclick to run Troubleshooter.

In Post #18 I gave you very specific instructions on what to do during reinstall: plug in by ethernet cable, run all Important and Optional Updates after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware (Step 3).

There was no reply to these steps as if you had just ignored them. Why? Why would you ask for help here and then just ignore or skip our suggestions. Do you have some problem that keeps you from following simple instructions?

Greg , I'll do everything again.

I want to add another thing.... I had Run the Dell Diagnostics. via Dell Website. And All the tests were done. and were positive. No issue was raised by the diagnostic.

If Diagnostics could not run from the F12 boot menu, then you can delete all partitions during Steps 7/8 of Clean Install Windows 7, create new one(s) as you wish before install.

I would say yet again "Greg said "What does it say when you place your cursor on the connection icon in bottom right System tray? It will either be a five-bar or tiny TV screen icon. Click on that icon to see if it offers networks to connect. If not rightclick on that icon to Run Troubleshooter."
I note what you see when you hover over the icon but did you right click on it as Greg suggested?"

I did Mitchell , I'm afraid it still can't recognize the LAN Hardware. The Troubleshoot was only contented to Wireless and asked to switch ON the Wireless Capability. Nothing there about LAN

Here is the snip.

I had a Dell Diagnostic Run from F12 Boot. No Issues. All the tests passed with flying colors.

That was a step which was given you to do before reinstall. Didn't you already reinstall?

If so did you reinstall plugged in by Ethernet cable as you were told? It should have started up connected if so.

The troubleshooter is quite clear you have your wireless switched off on the laptop. Press the wireless button to turn it on. It is normally close to the power button or on the sides.

Greg , The Wireless is working fine.. I'm using Wi-fi to connect to internet. The area of Concern is LAN. Yup , I did Re-install but ethernet was not plugged in (I forgot to do so). But Anyways, It asked for connection as connected with my wi-fi during install.

What shall i do now to get the LAN back?
