It is connected to the LAN. Will test a ping to 127.0.0.1 and let you know. – user3155354 Sep 24 '14 at 04:49

Was internet access present during the installation process? Did click the check-box for "install 3rd party software" when installing Ubuntu? – Robin Hood Sep 24 '14 at 06:11

You can use "sudo lshw -C network" to find out what ethernet controller you have. It would be useful to add the product details to your post. – Robin Hood Sep 24 '14 at 06:42
