Hi everyone, new to using proxmox.
I dual booted my old computer now in the process of being setup as the homelab
I went through the inital setup process.
I tried accessing it the URL but my computer doesn't seem to pick up on it.
I assume it's a double NAT issue or I could be wrong.
Does anyone know what the issue and how to resolve it?
I put a couple of pictures if that helps

Hi @argjerryl , welcome to the forum.

What exact URL are you trying to access and what is the exact error you are receiving?

Could you answer these questions please:
  • What is the IP of your workstation?
  • Can you ping the PVE server?
  • Can you ssh into PVE server?
  • What is the output from your workstation? (ipconfig /all ; ip a)

Your local network is probably not 192.168.100.0/24. The Proxmox installer picks 192.168.100.2 when DHCP does not give any IP address. Is the network controller supported by Linux? Is the cable attacked to your local router? Please check the subnet and router IP from another computer on your local network. The suggestions by @bbgeek17 will also help people discover what went wrong. This is a very common issue (not being able to connect because of not knowing your local network setup and/or not knowing Linux) and there are lots of similar threads on the forum.

*All those with the "^C" I exited out of cause it was taking to long too respond believing that there is not a response.
 
inet 192.168.1.212/24
As @leesteken mentioned, your existing subnet is different from the one you used on the PVE. You need to re-IP your PVE to place it in 192.168.1.0/24.
Pay particular attention to your existing DHCP ranges to avoid further conflicts
