I know 12.10 is no longer supported and that transition period ended in May or July 2014. I simply wanted to upgrade to 13.10, and from there on to 14.05 doing the usual sudo do-release-upgrade command and everything that comes with it, but it dosen't seem to work. the commandline message I get after a while is 

Error during update 

A problem occurred during the update. This is usually some sort of 
network problem, please check your network connection and retry.

Any ideas on what's going on? The menu from software updater is also giving me the message that the repository can no longer be accessed (since 12.10 is not supported anymore).

What are my options? Thanks

Do a fresh install of 14.04 , do not format your root partition and your data in /home will be preserved.

See - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuReinstallation

A fresh install is going to be faster and less problematic then upgrading through 2 unsupported releases (13.04 -> 13.10) and then to 14.04.
