this is my initial foray with proxmox. Ive successfully installed it on the box, Ive reconfigured every connection on the laptop to be the same subnet mask the IP address and port does not seem to see or connect to the box with an ethernet cable attached to both. there is clearly a setting that I am overlooking but I am not seeing which one it is at this point
I am open to suggestions
 
I went though those suggestions and they have ruled out some causes but I still do not have connection I am afraid to say
 
I would check your Layer 2 stuff:
  • Can you ping the node?
  • Connect an Ethernet cable directly from your workstation to the node. As long as its gigabit, you do not need crossover cable
  • From the console of the PVE node, try to ping its own IP - there should always be a response
  • From the console of the PVE node, try to ping something else
  • Don't forget that management is on port 8006 https://<URL or IP>:8006

Also share the above info requested by @Impact even if you have to take pictures o the console with your phone it will be useful.

In my linked post are steps to lookup details. Up to which step did you successfully follow?
