DHCP issuing IPs yet VMs not getting them

[sforza]

Hi all,

Fresh install of Proxmox. My host node is hp elitedesk 260 g2. I can see my ISP router (which is the DHCP server) does issue IP addresses whenever I create VMs, but for some reason these are not picked. Please see screenshot, two instances of HAOS VM and one ubuntu LXC I tried to create with no luck. Proxmox itself is recognised as "unkown device" with 192.168.77.138 address but works just fine. HAOS VM is getting an IP from a completely different range - see screenshot.

Network device is VirtIO.

HAOS Network manager can be seen during VM boot.

My network is having single router from ISP. I do have a couple of switches due to the house layout but I don't think that should impact.

Newbie here - posting only after lots of reading here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Bumping the thread to share that it got magically (and briefly) fixed on its own for no apparent reason, just left the computer on overnight. Noticed the IP in the VM Summary was suddenly a local one. I navigated to http://192.168.77.139:8123 (the one it displayed) and it worked, showing the welcome screen at http://192.168.77.139:8123/onboarding.html.

I then restarted to VM to test and it went back to displaying the old weird IP. Happines went away.

Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks in advance
