I am trying to establish LAN connection between my two laptops using Ubuntu on both. But it shows auto is connected on one laptop but other remains disconnected.
Is there any a hardware issue or a software issue? Am I forgetting something else?

Are you directly connecting them, or using a switch in between? If you're directly connecting them you need a crossover cable and not a straight. Also make sure they're both in the correct subnet.
