[SOLVED] Error on ifconfig eth0: error fetching interface information...

Hi,

I've been having a hard time trying to figure out an issue i'm having with my new build. I can't get my new system to connect to my network. I have gone through a few of the posts I found with similar problems and tried a few things without success. I repeated the flash drive steps a few times on different USB drives to make sure I got it right, tried to see if anything looked 'off' in the mother board BIOS, looked at my network set-up and tested my wired connections.

I still can't get it to work. It might be a simple solution but I can't figure it out (I'm very, very new at this). I hope I can get someone to point me in the right direction.

my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H and I'm running 4.7

I have also attached a syslog file. Please let me know if more info is required.

syslog.txt

Have you tried connecting the other Ethernet port?

I have tried both ports.

Thanks

Please let me know if more information is required to help solve my issue.

Thanks!

The syslog indicates that there is no connection to eth0.

Just try version 5rc8 and see if you get a working network connection.  If that does not work, research your motherboard and post back with the manufacturer and model number of the NIC chip on the board. 

Thanks Frank1940! It was a compatibility issue between 4.7 and my motherboard. I can now get an IP address.

My issue now is tha I can't log into //tower from my pc. I also tried the IP address without success.

Windows Network Diagnostics says that "the remote device or resource won't accept the connection"

Should I create a separate post for this?

Attach a new syslog.

Here is the new Syslog. (I remembered to zip it this time)

I'm also wondering why I see drives A through F when I only have 4 hard drives?

Thanks

syslog.zip

here it is as a txt file if it helps

Turns out the router needed to be rebooted. Thanks to all those who looked into this.
