After completing the installment, I am much interested to setup internet connection on Ubuntu and searched lots of tutorial. The thing I found that most of the tutorials are not easy to understand and configure the Internet.

After this, I decided to write a tutorial page which will easily explain the details step by step to setup internet connection on Ubuntu computer or laptop or notebook. In this page, you will find the step by step instructions to setup internet connection on Ubuntu.
Steps to Setup Internet Connection on Ubuntu

Step 2: From the Network Tools window, choose the Network device to configure network. Remember, we are learning to configure the IP address manually. So, we must have to choose the network card which we would like to configure. So, from the Network Device choose the LAN card. In this example, we choose Ethernet Interface (eth0) and click on Configure button.
Step 3: After the above steps, you will find the window of Network Connections and choose Wired tab. If you find any ip address or something into there, then Delete all of them. Now click on Add button which enables you to add network ip address as you like from the Editing Wired Connection
Step 4: From Editing Wired Connection window choose IPv4 Settings tab and choose Manual from the Method option. Now, click on Add button and start adding the network address that you would like to configure. Remember, you must have to know the IP address, Netmask and Gateway that you would like to configure. If you do not know the IP address then talk to your ISP for IP address, Netmask and Gateway. After configuring the IP address, Netmask and Gateway. After doing this click on Apply button.
