Hi,

I am trying to setup a home lab proxmox. My network is 192.168.16.0/24. I want my proxmox server to get 192.168.16.10 and the gateway and dns servers are 192.168.16.1.

During setup, on the network screen I entered the network as 192.168.16.10/32.

After Proxmox booted I can't ping the server (I can ping other devices on my network) and can't log into the network interface (times out).

Thanks

The important, for you, portion is:
Total Number of Hosts:1

If you intended network is /24, then all hosts should be on that network.
/32 is one host, /24 is 254

So that setting is not the IP of the machine only but also of the network. My reasoning was that with a DHCP server, Proxmox (and the guests on it) go to this device for their IP address.

It should be 192.168.16.10/24. I will reinstall and report back.

When I installed it initially I wasn't connected to the network. This time round it picked all settings automatically.
