I am connecting my Nokia N73 through data cable with my laptop which has Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

If I connect using Windows, it gets connected and I can browse all the files and folders in my phone from the computer. If I connect from Ubuntu then its not getting connected, so and I am unable browse the internet or files on my phone.

Any support would be great help for me.

If you just want to access the files, go to Settings > Connectivity > USB Data Cable on your phone and in USB Data Cable either set Ask on conn. or Data Storage. The PC will then detect your phone as a normal USB drive and you can easily access contents.

Looking through the Software Centre I found Wammu and GMobileMedia. I have no experience with them but they may allow you to use your phone as you want. see below screens
