Has it been working?
Have you tried downloading the latest drivers, for your laptop, from the Acer website?

Try removing it from device manager, re-boot and let Windows install the drivers.

ALL ethernet ports should have a green light on soon as your rj45 is plugged in and the orange light should flicker when transmitting data...can u get into the bios?
