As a project, we don't do forums - email is som much easier for some of us. But I know that some people do contribute to e.g. linux-questions.

You sound as if you intend to use enp3s0 but the system is set for eth0. What matters is the value in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules - if that file exists, use the value in it.
