Hi there, I'm new to Proxmox and really excited to try it out. I installed Proxmox on a machine connected to my router but I can't connect to it from my desktop computer. I'm a beginner with networking so please could someone more knowledgeable give me advice.
In my router I configured the DHCP server to reserve the Proxmox machine with the IP address 192.168.1.1 and I used that IP during the installation process with CIDR /24. According to my router, the machine was allocated the IP 192.168.1.1.
In my router I set the LAN subnet mask to 255.255.0.0, the idea being that my physical devices can use 192.168.0.0/24 and my Proxmox machines and VMs can use 192.168.1.0/24.
With this setup, I expected that my physical devices could communicate with the Proxmox server and VMs, but I can't access the web GUI from my desktop machine at 192.168.0.10.
If I physically log into the Proxmox machine and run
It's a fresh install so there should be no firewall settings in place. I can't ping the machine either. However, using
I investigated using traceroute which seemed to show no problems:
So it seems not to be a routing issue, yet I can't connect, and there are no firewalls.
Do I need to configure something like static routing? Or a VLAN?
If someone could give me advice I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

If I physically log into the Proxmox machine and run
curl -k https://192.168.1.1:8006 | grep title, I can see that the GUI is responsive. If I run the same command from my desktop machine I get a connection timeout.It's a fresh install so there should be no firewall settings in place. I can't ping the machine either. However, using
nmap -sn 192.168.0.0/16 I can see it reports that the host is up:
Code:
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.1
Host is up (0.00023s latency).I investigated using traceroute which seemed to show no problems:
Code:
traceroute to 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 0.843 ms 0.835 ms 0.821 msSo it seems not to be a routing issue, yet I can't connect, and there are no firewalls.
