If the other computers work by the same connection, using basically the same connectors & are all OK except your Acer's intermittent connection?

One thinks, loose connections, faulty connections, faulty jack Etc? Faulty input point?
Have you tried this computer in a different internet source than your own?


However you say you have tried various different leads, still not working?
Look through these links to see if the info may be of use?

How To: Fixing Router Intermittent Connection Drops :
Broadband Troubleshooting: Dropping Connection

See how those go, then this:-
Diagnosing intermittent connection faults


Also visit the Acer website link, to check on associated drivers, if not already done so.

Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Had a similar problem with a gbE switch and onboard gbE LAN on an Asus mobo. It worked great for the better part of a year, then just stopped working one day. It said "No network connectivity". Tried a different cable, no cigar. Then I went into device manager and forced the network speed from 'auto negotiate' to 100mbit/s (not 1000 mbit/s) and it worked properly.

It seems that in my case, the onboard LAN didn't like the switch. Tried it on another switch - wham - perfect.

I would try forcing your Ethernet adapter to 10mbit/s full duplex via device manager and see what happens.
