[SOLVED] Dell poweredge r710 no ethernet

[hauge]

Hi.
I recently installed proxmox on my dell r710 server, installation went fine and i see the login page on the server. But i cant reach it on the ip address.
I have googled alot last days, but i need help, also new to linux.

I have tried "ip a" - "nano /etc/network/interfaces" and tried different ethernet ports back on the server, when i plugged it out it said "eno1: NIC copper link is down"

Help is much appreciated !!

The computer you're trying to connect to it from is on the 192.168.100.0/24 network? (Just checking!)

This is ipconfig on my laptop that I try to reach it from

Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::d107:856d:9a6f:db73%6
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.68.128
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.68.1

i can not ping it, it does not show in my router either.

why don't you try assigning an IP address from the same subnet (192.168.68.0/24) ? and with the gateway IP the same on your PC?

Im new to this. Do i need to reinstall proxmox or can i change the config and reboot? What ip address should I assign? just a random between 192.168.68.0 and 192.168.68.100 ??

you need to edit:
- /etc/network/interfaces
- /etc/hosts

in /etc/hosts: replace the old IP with new one

in /etc/network/interfaces:
replace address with a free & valid address from your subnet, e.g.: 192.168.68.50
replace gateway with: 192.168.68.1

then reboot

it did work! Thank you so much for your time and knowledge!
