Windows 7: Internet problem

Quiet often when I boot up the internet has no access.
When I run troubleshoot it always says to reboot modem.
Have had Windows 7 for 6 months without a problem,
but recently had to reinstall because hard drive failed.

Only had this trouble since new install.

Make sure that your wifi drivers are up to date...

Wifi not the problem, my comp uses cable

make sure your modem driver is installed well..from device manager.

your connection is use provider?? try ipconfig /renew and /release

It should be a driver problem. D/l and install the latest driver for your network adapter. before doing that, check in DM, whether there is any mark before your network adapter.

no mark before network adapter,
haven't updated latest drivers for modem for a while
Modem is Netgear, external.

can you fill your system specs.
and download lastest version of modem netgear first. and post your result.

Downloaded latest netgear drivers and installed.
Do have a ! next to pci simple comm controller

what the error??

Right click on it and select Update driver and let it search for one thru online.
