When i try to ping my VM from my laptop i get this.

Code:
ping 192.168.1.55

Pinging 192.168.1.55 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.8: Destination host unreachable.
Request timed out.

I did a complete reinstall of Proxmox but the error remains. I created a new zfs pool and restored my old VMs.

Any ideas why i get the error "VM 100 qmp command 'change' failed - unable to connect to VM 100 qmp socket - timeout after 600 retries
TASK ERROR: Failed to run vncproxy" ?

It seems i have a faulty usb dongle (zigbee stick) that have caused my issues. I unplugged the stick from my vms and now it works.
