Your Tor is unable to complete the TCP connection to whichever directory
authority it chose.

A) Are you behind a captive portal? Is your network actually on? What
else can you reach?

B) Try using a Tor bridge:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges
if "a certain network" is blocking the Tor directory authorities by IP
address.

C) You could try the obfsproxy bundle:
https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy
but based on your log I bet it won't help.
