How may I use Microsoft Remote Desktop to connect to a Windows VM hosted on Proxmox VE?​

I have the Windows VM hosted on a Proxmox server.
The network configuration, as far as I can tell, goes like this:
WAN ----> WiFi Router/Switch ----> Switch to NIC #1 (enp0s25) on server ----> enp0s25 to vmbr0 via Linux Bridge ----> vmbr0 to Virtual Network Device (Intel E1000) via bridge

Network Details
Windows VM:
IPv4 Address is 192.168.1.228
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
Gateway is 192.168.1.1

Proxmox:
IPv4 Address is 192.168.50.97
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
Gateway is 192.168.50.1 (IP address of the router)

macOS Ventura:
IPv4 Address is 192.168.50.98
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
Gateway is 192.168.50.1

I'd like to connect to the Windows VM from macOS. I think the problem lies with the IP and gateway of the Windows VM, as it is out of the range of usable addresses to be in line with the rest of the network. If this is true, would changing the IPv4 address on the Windows VM to, say, 192.168.50.104 and gateway to 192.168.50.97 fix this?

If not, what should I do to solve this?

I realize I'm asking a lot here, and I really appreciate the effort from those responding!

Thanks

All machines need to be in the same subnet, unless you got a router that can route between those different subnets (which consumer routers usually can't do). So yes, choosing a IP in the 192.168.50.0/24 subnet for that WinVM should help.

Yup, changing the IP address to the same subnet helped fix this problem. Also, I needed to allow remote desktop connections in the settings menu. Thanks!
