Cannot Access Web GUI After Adding GPU

I have been using Proxmox for a few days now without any major problem.
I spun up a Turnkey-ZoneMinder container and added a second network adapter for a separate network that my cameras are on. It seemed to take fine and would connect to the cameras.
I noticed some issues with decoding video so I shutdown Proxmox and added a GPU for hardware acceleration. The Proxmox server boots and kept the same IP. sshd and pveproxy are started successfully and I can ping the Proxmox IP address, but I cannot reach the webgui at all, it simply times out. I don't know what else to do.
 
I found a typo in /etc/network/interfaces, but even after correcting it and setting a static IP, the boot screen still showed the old address and I could still not connect.
I haven't put a ton of work into it yet and I found another computer that is about twice as powerful, so I'll just start over again. Thank you for your help.
 
The IP that shows on the screen is NOT updated automatically.
It's a static value written to /etc/issue
Thats actually not how its supposed to work. There is :
Code:
systemctl status pvebanner.service
● pvebanner.service - Proxmox VE Login Banner
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pvebanner.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (exited) since Mon 2024-08-12 22:13:07 UTC; 3 weeks 0 days ago
   Main PID: 638 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
        CPU: 182ms

Aug 12 22:13:07 pve-1 systemd[1]: Starting pvebanner.service - Proxmox VE Login Banner...
Aug 12 22:13:07 pve-1 systemd[1]: Finished pvebanner.service - Proxmox VE Login Banner.

Its supposed to run on boot (or can be restarted manually) and update the /etc/issue

Hmmm, good to know, although I have seen plenty of people with this issue before, but to be honest never really tested it myself (I just plan out the IP before installing and set it correctly right away ;) )
Doing a quick few (safe) tests it indeed seems to update the file on a service-restart, but haven't tested a full reboot, nor checking what it does when I change / remove the default gateway (since that is what it seems to revert to)
