Network connection to install packages

[Swami]

Yes, that's the problem. If I use the same ethernet or USB-Ethernet
connection and boot to Ubuntu Desktop, I am able to access network as well
as internet access. No, I am not able to connect to any other destinations
too, even though I have assigned a static IP address to the eth
configuration.
