OK, select 'start', 'my computer', 'view system information', 'hardware', 'device manager', 'network adapters'. What is listed there?

I found your driver! Search for 'acer ethernet driver' using yahoo. Select 'acersupport.com', select 'drivers and downloads', select 'notebooks', select 'aspire', select '5315', select OS 'windows vista ultimate x32', select 'LAN broadcom' download driver, click on it to unzip and double click on executable to install.

Let me know how it goes. :)
