Internet problems after win7 re-installed

[BravoBoy]

i have recently re-installed windows 7, and im now having troubles connecting to the internet. in the bottom right hand side of my screen where usually i see a connected symbol that looks kinda like ((((i))) if you know what i mean... where now i see a box with a pitchfork on the left side of it (forgive my poor attempt at describing the symbols) there is no red x it is jump empty and if i hover my mouse over it is says:

Currently connected to:
/_\ Network
|_| Internet access

its not a problem with my internet/ modem because as you can see im connected on this laptop. (btw the wierd slashed over there< are supposed to be a house)

Assuming all cables are connected correctly, I'd give this a try:
