Hello, I've been trying for hours to setup a basic proxmox server, but no luck, I can't connect to the server remotly. Tried different variations from the internet:
Proxmox server commands:
ip a
cat /etc/network/interfaces
ping google.com
ping 192.168.1.1
cat /etc/resolv.conf

I've attached my router DHCP configuration, strangely in the table there is no entry for 192.168.1.10

I've also attached a screenshot of the ping request from my laptop:
ping 192.168.1.10
ping 192.168.1.1

Nevermind... I can't believe this. I swapped the cable from LAN1 to LAN2 in my router and now it works fine.

The table shows allocated addresses. Your DHCP range is from 192.168.1.50 to 192.168.1.254 as the image shows.

As to your main problem, I don't know your network setup, but you may have a problem with some isolation.
Start by making sure your actually on the same exact Lan network when you try to ping PVE.
Then try setting an address in PVE that is within the above range. (It should have worked even when out of this range - but maybe some isolation is going on with your network).
