Well, I think I have it figured out. I think the network card is dead. I did try to get to it, but there is a stripped screw that just will not budge, so I guess I am simply not going to get online with my Acer. I have a small Toshiba laptop, but the sound is almost nonexistent. Works fine with headphones though, and I can get online.
I would like to say thanks to all of you who commented. With your help I was able to figure this out. Without it, I would have never done so.
