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
