Sounds to me like you may have a problem with a gateway IP # being set up...at least that's one possibility. As an example, I have this problem on my notebook; when my notebook is connected to the small network I have set up, I use my desktop machine as a gateway (its IP). But if I use the notebook elsewhere (not network connected) and dial-up using its modem, then I have to make sure that it has the gateway IP disabled. If not, I get the same problem that you are presently getting.
You mentioned you just reinstalled...so perhaps such a gateway address got inadvertently entered in the setup process...
