I need help finding out how to connect to my proxmox server.

You can do similar tests from your desktop. If you get different results, chances are that the port that a device is attached to, matters. You could then test to see which ports do not work as "LAN" ports - either, because they are defective or because they are dedicated "GUEST" ports.

You can move the cable from your desktop to another port to try. I must leav for today now, it's late...

Did you try those pings from your PVE host? I assume not, since 10.0.0.21 is your proxmox (which is on the laptop?), so it must be able to ping itself, but you say it is unreachable.

I must assume you did this from your desktop at 10.0.0.19, since the nmap scan already shows you can reach the router from there.

Please do the tests from your proxmox machine.

And: 10.0.0.156 is a random client on your network, not on the internet.

That's right I did not do those pings from my PVE host, and yes 10.0.0.21 is the laptop proxmox is running on.



(I meant to say a machine on my network my mistake.)

You do not need your router to connect between your desktop and your proxmox, that traffic is on the same subnet and thus the ony thing the router must provide are DHCP addresses to most clients (probably your desktop), but not proxmox, which is configured statically.

that’s right I originally didn’t ping these from the PVE host rather I did it from my desktop. Yes, 10.0.0.21 is the laptop proxmox is setup on.

The test from the proxmox machine itself everything comes back unreachable.
10.0.0.1 is unreachable
10.0.0.19 (you can ignore I just wanted to test if my desktop would be pinged.)

(Sorry if that looked a little silly, but I did mean to say a machine on my network)

I understand, I appreciate the help though!

I'll see if I have a spare machine that can do this. (my desktop is across the house from the router)
