Assuming doing what keratosis says doesn't fix anything and other computers on your network are connecting fine, I would guess that your network card either uninstalled itself, corrupted the driver or was somehow damaged by the surge.
Check device manager and look for your NIC there. If it is missing, or has a yellow ! on it, then it might need to be reinstalled.
