I tried connecting to the Tor network. Each time it stops at Loading Network Status .

This is the log file:

27-05-2015 10:54:40.877 [NOTICE] DisableNetwork is set. Tor will not make or accept non-control network connections. Shutting down all existing connections.

  • When you say you "can't access anything", what have you tried to access? Are you able to access websites without using Tor - i.e. do you have any connectivity at all? (Don't try this if it's going to compromise you in any way... )

It is repeatedly warning you about the time being wrong. A synchronized clock is extremely important to make a connection to anything even if you've been able to download all of the consensus information. 

7/8/2015 6:49:43 AM.695 [WARN] Our clock is 1 hours, 10 minutes behind the time published in the consensus network status document (2015-07-08 08:00:00 UTC).  Tor needs an accurate clock to work correctly. Please check your time and date settings!

Fix your clock so that it has accurate time in an appropriate timezone (e.g. UTC). If you're using a virtual machine, consider different ways of making sure the clock has synced. Otherwise you'll just have to manually fix it each time.

The first warning in the logs is this:

11/6/2015 7:05:53 AM.400 [WARN] Our clock is 1 days, 21 hours, 54 minutes behind the time published in the consensus network status document (2015-11-08 10:00:00 UTC).  Tor needs an accurate clock to work correctly. Please check your time and date settings!

So this is currently your main problem:

Tor needs an accurate clock to work correctly. Please check your time and date settings!

This page is a good resource for understanding how accurate your machine's clock is.

This line if very descriptive:

27-05-2015 10:55:01.356 [WARN] Our clock is 17 hours, 4 minutes behind the time published in the consensus network status document (2015-05-28 03:00:00 UTC). Tor needs an accurate clock to work correctly. Please check your time and date settings!

Your clock is not correct. Make sure that you've set your clock and your timezone to be appropriate.
