Can’t ping default gateway address

[sheikhchili]

### Background:
I'm a student and completely new to this. I'm trying to experiment with my laptop by setting up a tier 1 hypervisor directly on it.
So i installed proxmox and tried apt-update && apt-upgrade, but realize or i think the problem lies in network connection primarily with default gateway ip

### Context:

When I am in the Proxmox Debian (root) directory, I tried to ping 8.8.8.8 to connect to Google so I could use Proxmox on the same device instead of switching to another screen. To find a solution, I also tried pinging the default gateway IP of my network, but it was unreachable. However, I was able to ping my own IP and the DNS server IP.

### Question:
To even test pinging, do I need my laptop to be connected through Ethernet, or will setting the DNS server IP, a static IP for the laptop, and the default gateway of the network take care of that?

- If no, I'll connect through Ethernet and come back!
- If yes, what should I do next? I've set everything up by looking at multiple forums.

Hi,

apt-update && apt-upgrade,

Please always use apt update && apt dist-upgrade instead of apt upgrade
Could you please share the with us the network configuration? `cat /etc/network/interfaces` and `cat /etc/hosts` and `ip a`

I'm not op but having the same issue... this is my network config:

root@homelab:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!
