Can't access web interface

[Guzz]

Recently figured out how to install proxmox on my old laptop. Installation went great, but as I try to access the web interface i couldnt connect to the ip adress I was given. Tried switching ip adress, but eventually found out that I didn't even have an internet connect. And since my laptop didn't have an ethernet port, I had to buy an usb to ethernet adapter.

Sadly it still doesnt work though. I tried to follow some of the other threads on this issue, but couldn't get it to work. So I decided to make my own thread. I'm also very new to this, so if there is any information that I need to share, for you to help me, just ask.

Thanks in advance

This is what I get when I type "ip a". I noticed it says "DOWN" on my ethernet and wifi, but don't know how to fix it. (There might be some typos, sorry)

Hi.
You can try to bring the interface up:
ip link set enx00e04c68069f up
Does the eth adapter have any LEDs? Are they lit?
If not, try to replace the eth cable.
Does the adapter work when connected to some other computer and to the same port of the switch / router?
Does it light up the LEDs then?

Hi, thanks for the reply
So my cabels, computer or adapter, doesn't have any lights
I tried "ip link set enx00e04c68069f up", but it doesn't seem to have any effect
I tried replacing the eth cable, but didn't change anything
Also tried using the adapter on my main pc, which worked fine

My idea at the moment is that you can boot this laptop from a Debian Live CD and see whether the adapter works in it, or not.
Then from some Ubuntu Live CD.

It will show if the reason is in the laptop or in the operating system (particularly in Proxmox).

Sorry it takes a while to respond. I work quite a bit. I'll try this out tomorrow
