ERROR MSG:device eth0 does not seem to be present delaying initialization

Hi friends! I have P5GC-MX ASUS motherboard in my system,it has onboard NIC(network interface card).I have successfully assigned IP address and used the NIC in Windows OS,But when I assign IP staying in LINUX and restart the network service ,I get the error message "device eth0 does not seem to be present.....delaying initialization" and I am not able to successfully restart the network service.Please help me resolve the issue.How can I successfully detect my NIC and assign IP to it successfully.

Not really an Enterprise question, more of a hardware issue..

Check to see what type of NIC it is..
lspci | grep -i eth

check if the system could see the Ethernet interface during boot.. and what /dev/eth it assigned to the device if any.
cat /var/log/dmesg | grep -i eth
