I have no clue why my #proxmox box isn't connecting when I have it hooked up to the router that I also have my laptop connected to (via cat5, not wifi.) *sighs* I am sure that it is also something simple but also something I am entirely ignorant about. Who knows when I'll be able to get this working so I can start running VMs. Blech.
Discussion
Are you using a manually assigned static IP or a dynamic IP via DHCP or something else? I'd recommend a static IP since it's a VM host. Then it boils down to making sure the IP, subnet, and DNS are correct. Are you using any Vlans on your router?
The setup for proxmox that I followed had me set up a static IP.
The proxmox box does not show up on my router client list, only my laptop does.
well, classic networking diagnosis is on order then:
- `ip addr`
- is there an address assigned to the LAN interface?
- is my IP in the same range as the rest of the network?
- is my gateway correct?
- can I ping the router?
I think that's where the problem lies. I set the static IP address outside t journal range of the router.
I'm pretty sure the gateway is also incorrect.
No, I can't ping the router.
I'll muck about with it after work.
