cloned hard drive and broadband

Have just cloned my old hard drive to a new one using Driveimagexml.
Everything went across to the new drive ok or so I thought.
I tried to connect to my internet provider using new drive but without any luck.
What I was wondering in the transfer of data did the internet package lose something ?
So what I think I will do is uninstall the broadband and re-install.
Unless anybody has a solution or thoughts to the above problem.
As always thanks for any help offered.
Nick

    You don't need to 'install broadband'. How are you connecting? A cable from your modem or router, or wireless?

    Check your network connections in Windows.

    Have you tried rebooting the modem/router?
    Move along, nothing to see.

    wired or wifi ?? may just need to delete any saved wifi networks, reset winsock catalog, and re-connect. Unless a driver has become corrupted - have you checked Device Manager ??

    Thanks for the replies but I assumed with the cloning the broadband connection etc would have transferred across.Am going to uninstall and re-install.Can't do any harm ??
    Device manager shows no problems.
    Internet and lan both show connected.
