any idea what am I suppose to do???

you're supposed to do some troubleshooting of the problem. Merely showing us these things is of very little use. This is all written in the past tense... "I was unable"... are you able to now?? can you ping things? can you do DNS resolution? can you ping your default gateway?

I was unable to connect to internet

No I am not able to ping things,what am suppose to do for resolving DNS?

Set up your network correctly. As acid_kewpie said, do some basic troubleshooting. He asked questions, so answer them. You've made several other posts where people have asked you questions, but you've never answered them.

You need to be able to ping your default gateway, and there's no way for us to know what that is, since you've given us no details about your network. The eth0 interface is up and configured, but we've no idea if it's right or not. Are you using DHCP? Static IP? Home or business network? Behind a firewall/router? What???

This is slightly surprising. Can you please tell me why you have selected these numbers, or, if you didn't select them, please tell me how they came about?

It would also be useful to say what you are trying to connect to (router, modem, usb device,...) and how (ethernet, wireless, etc).

network connectivity is a combination of factors.

A route to tell packets to go in that direction.

$ route -n
$ netstat -r

And interface with an IP and other parameters.

$ ifconfig -a

And DNS to resolve humanized names to an IP address.

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

You can check connectivity with various means.

$ ping yahoo.com
(assumes that DNS and routing is working)
$ ping -c 4 98.137.149.56
(assumes that routing is working / IP of yahoo.com in my location)
$ hosts <interface>
$ arp -vni <interface>

And progressively more complex from there. Normally dhcp takes care of a lot of this setup work.

# dhclient3 <interface>

And progressively more complex if you have more manual needs.

I was unable to connect to inter

I have not fixed that,I cant not able to ping gate way also,first let me find the results for the commands mentioned by shadow_7,once done i will let you know the result

And then there's security measures that can also impede your connectivity (by design).

$ iptables -L
$ iptables -t nat -L

Firewall basically. And various proxies like squid. bind and dns_masq and other ways to try and manage / improve your security and system. It could be that the network is fine and security measures have the door blocked for all intents.

And more light hearted stuff like /etc/hosts /etc/hostname, plan file and other things to make you more available to your peers. But not really necessary to make a network connection.
