I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on a laptop, but when i went to go online to install drivers, it refused to let me connect to any wireless or wired network. Its an HP EliteBook 8470p, with a replaced HDD, CPU, and RAM. What could be causing this?

Well as you said, drivers. If you have a second PC you can get the drivers downloaded and transfer using a USB stick-.

Which drive do i need? http://www.driverscape.com/manufacturers/hp/laptops-desktops/hp-elitebook-8470p/475

The one under 'Network & Wireless Drivers'. There are also some different drivers there, both Gigabit (Ethernet) and the other one which is wireless.

Just got to the website Gaurav linked, choose your operating system and you should see a Network's tab there aswell. That is the official HP page so should be better.

That's the problem when laptops start to get older.. they stop supporting them with drivers on official websites :(
