Check in device manager and make sure your network card drivers are installed. If not there will be a yellow exclamation point beside it. To get there, start>run and then type in "devmgmt.msc" without the quotes and click on ok button.

You need to download the drivers from the acer website. Same with graphics drivers, etc.
