    Dear everyone,
    Im haaving problem with my Acer 5670 to connect to the internet. After my laptop got problem, i installed Windows with the CD, not from the Acer system restoration. Then i went to Acer website to download driver for it. Everything ok, even with wireless LAN. But now i dont have WIFI so have to use LAN network to connect to the internet. But after plug in the cable, i can not go to the internet, can not see LAN icon in "show all connection" place also. So maybe it's because i lost driver for LAN network. But i go to ACer website again, download then install everything, still can not go to the internet. So anyone pls help me to solve this problem, without it i cant use internet at home for 1 month. thank you

    Note that im also lost Acer restoration software and partion due to replaced the hard disk.
