Hi srikar
Did you check the guide?
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/kubuntu.../internet.html

And yes I know, that says 6.10 but the steps are the same

Else:
What happens if you in konsole type sudo ifconfig (press enter and type in your password) ?
If no eth0 (or other device found)
try dmesg | grep eth
It may look something like this

dmesg | grep eth
eth0: VIA Rhine at 0x1d400, 00:**:*:*:*:*, IRQ 18.
eth0: MII PHY found at address 8, status 0x782d advertising 05e1 Link 45e1.
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
eth0: no IPv6 routers present

Where 00:**:*:*:*:* = your Network cards MAC address

Hope that is some help on the way
