Fresh install cant connect to network

Solved!

Hi, sorry for noob question, I am absolutely new to proxnox, but I didn’t expect to encounter such problem this early.

I installed on my b550m mortar wi-fi, ryzen 5700g, nvidia 3060, fresh install of proxnox 8. And it cant reach neither local nor internet. Cable is working and internet is working fine too. In Windows network works perfectly.Tried resetting my bios.. didn't help. Google search didnt help. Any suggestions?

Can you ping 1.1.1.1? If so, I'd bet a dollar your DNS settings are wrong.

You can add nameservers in the GUI or through the console in /etc/resolv.conf.

Hi. Thank you for reply. In the meanwhile I tried reinstalling and changing these network settings. Still doesn’t work. Ping 1.1.1.1 gives me Destination Host Unreachable.

192.168.100.0 is the default subnet for Proxmox, which suggests you didnt have network connected when you did your setup, which in turn suggests that you dont have a valid network connection now.

Have you isolated and tested the ethernet cable you are using?

Proxmox doesn't do dhcp by default. They just simply failed to setup the correct IP

Hi! Actually yes I did, because for some reason I got stuck when it tried to detect my country. It seems that issue is resolved now.

I had the same issue yesterday, when I installed proxmox 8 using text mode. Even after setting up IP using DHCP client I was not able to see web GUI. Fresh graphical installation solved the issue.

Just checking that you're not trying to connect the proxmox server to the network via wifi.

if you can't ping 1.1.1.1 then it's a network configuration issue.

Make sure that you've set the server's ip to be in the same subnet as your router, that netmask is correct and that your default gateway is set and matches the ip address of your router.

So if your router is 192.168.1.1 you'd configure proxmox with the following.

IP address 192.168.1.x netmask 255.255.255.0 aka /24 dns 192.168.1.1 gateway 192.168.1.1

Edited

Im using ethernet cable. My router is 192.168.31.1

tried to match it with your instruction. 1.1.1.1 pings. But still no internet

EDIT: i logged into proxmox which is amazing, but it doesn't have internet conection for some reason. When I ping google.com it says temporary failure in name resolution.

I have internet on this connection for sure, it works on windows just fine
