Hi, I have Installed proxmox VE 6.4 on a Dell laptop. After installing nothing seems to be working.

The Errors that I am facing:
  • Cannot access the web GUI with an Error connection timed out.
  • apt update fails with temporary name resolve error.
  • Changed from enterprise-repository to pve-no-subscription repository in /etc/apt/sources.list
  • still apt update is failing with the same error.
  • I don't know whether the LAN getting connected or not. To check the status I need another package called net-tools.
  • to install net-tools I have tried using apt install net-tools Obviously it is failing with the same result.
  • I have tried pinging 8.8.8.8 using ping 8.8.8.8 I am getting an error as Destination host is unreachable. (100 % packet loss)
The only thing working I am able to log in with the root username and password directly into the server where this OS is installed.
Need Help very badly.

Thanks in Advance,
Venkat teja Ravi.
