Ubuntu 13.04: ehternet connection not working

Ubuntu 13.04: ehternet connection not working

My ethernet connection is no longer working. When I check ifconfig, the information is wrong.
dustin@dustin:~$ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr dc:0e:a1:3b:7c:f0 
          inet6 addr: fe80::de0e:a1ff:fe3b:7cf0/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:6954 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1778 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:2316328 (2.3 MB)  TX bytes:284974 (284.9 KB)
That hardware address is not the MAC address of the connected modem. Why won't ubuntu recognize the wire connection and why is a wrong MAC address present?
