Installing on Microserver N54L

[delumerlino]

Good morning,
I have succesfully installed Proxmox VE 8.2 on a HP Microserver N54L (Gen7).
Networking is a real pain.
Pinging the host from the same network gives about 80% packet loss.
With many attempt, I can log on web interface but most of the time the connection drops.
The NIC is a Embedded NC107i PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter (I think Broadcom chipset)
Anyone with the same issue?
What can I try?

Thanks a lot,
A.

Tripple check if there is an IP address conflict. "Random" packet loss may be the result. Simply change the IP address to confirm/deny this.

Change the NIC. If there is no free slot use an USB-NIC.

Thanks, of course I did it. same result with a different IP.
And the question was for checking if someone has already solved with this hw, before changing the NIC or having obvious suggestions

try dissabling IPv6 on host and VM/LXC

I was hoping to give Proxmox a shot on a N54L as well with a few virtual machines. Im downgrading HW wise to this so I need to know how it actually goes.

It will probably have four virtual machines:

Domain Controller
File Server
General purpose Windows virtual machine
General purpose Linux virtual machine
