I have installed Elements 2023 on my Acer laptop. Tried to open Camera Raw, but got the message that I had to download it from Adobe add-on utilities.  Tried to do that, but got the failure code 176 (cannot be installed on a Network station). Is my laptop a network station???

With pse 2023 camera raw is not installed until it is needed- it keeps the original program download size small. 

Tried to do that, but got the failure code 176 (cannot be installed on a Network station). Is my laptop a network station???
Generally no, but in your case there are a couple of things to consider: 

 Installing ACR onto your computer while  it is connected to a network, such as a school network- teachers sometimes bring their own computers in, and due to security stuff set up on the network they will get error codes like what you got.

The second thing: Your computer may think you're trying to install ACR to a networked drive:   FOR EXAMPLE:  I have an external HDD set up to be a network drive on my home computer network- my wife can save things to it if she wants to.

A QUESTION: Is PSE installed in it's default location?  ACR (Adobe Camewra Raw usually gets installed wherever PSE is installed.   Parts of the program get installed in other places- but you generally don't need to worry about those.

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2023 is the default installation location for the main program files.

Sometimes this works to clear up odd behavior:  Shut your computer down, turn it off.   Go get a cup of coffee, return and turn it back on.
