As above I guess. Got myself a little Dell SFF machine and installed proxmox to bare metal, went through the whole shebang of settings up the install, and now I’m stumped at the first hurdle.

The web address provided when the machine boots up will not allow me to access the online setup. Is there any way to set up the service from within the VE command line? Any recommendations on how to solve my problem?

Both devices should be connected to the same WiFi network, so there should be no problem right?

Help me Obi Proxmox Kenobi, you’re my only hope
 
Proxmox does not support WiFi and without a working internet connection it's hard to setup. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Proxmox host to your switch/router/rest of the network.
Lots of threads on this forum about troubleshooting the network connection. They all start with a login to the Proxmox host console and showing the output of the following two Linux commands: cat /etc/network/interfaces and ip a. A readable photo will work as you cannot copy and paste the text (in CODE-tags) due to lack of network. It also helps to know the IP address and netmask of your router and to pick/reserve an IP address outside of the DHCP-range (but inside the same subnet) of your router.
