I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 on dual boot with Windows 7 on separate HDD. I went through several threads regarding connection problems but I didn't understand them much as I have never used Linux in the past. Ubuntu detects that Ethernet cable is plugged in but it can't establish a connection.

ifconfig:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr e0:3f:49:ad:81:b8  
      inet6 addr: fe80::e23f:49ff:fead:81b8/64 Scope:Link

lspci -knn | grep Net -A2:

s Network Adapter [14e4:43b1] (rev 03)

I tried to follow the post which got 186 up vote in the thread below but unfortunately in step 2 it wants user to be connected to internet in some form, so I am unsure what should I do to proceed as I can only connect to internet on Windows 7. Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers

This didn't work. How to install Broadcom wireless drivers offline?

Do you have static IP Configuration? If yes then in the connection settings edit the wired connection or something like that to have those settings and try connecting.
