I might be a Proxmox Newbie which I'm learning more about every day. I've purchased a server with couple of IP addresses then installed Proxmox 5 and started using it.

When I create a new VM by default it has no internet so when I finish the setup I enter the VM and set a dedicated IP manually per VM to run however I was searching how to give internet access by default to all VMs when created shared from the main server's internet?

I'm creating a MacOS VM after I found a good blog post on doing that.
https://www.nicksherlock.com/2018/06/installing-macos-mojave-on-proxmox/

The thing is when I reached the installer step to install MacOS it's not allowing giving an error message "Mac Installer Requires Internet Connection". So I tried to set the IPs in the BOIS manager this is didn't solve the problem, also I tried to use "ifconfig and ipconfig" via terminal also this didn't resolve the issue. I'm stuck now can't find a way how to give internet access to the VM either shared from the main server until setup is completed and then I'll set a dedicated IP manually inside the O/S itself or configuring it using dedicated IP from boot.

Your help is highly appreciated, thank you!
 
hi,

what kind of network setup do you have? can you post /etc/network/interfaces from your PVE?

also the configuration of the VM: qm config VMID
 
Hi kindly find below

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto enp5s0
iface enp5s0 inet manual

iface enp6s0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address  x.x.x.x
        netmask  255.255.255.248
        gateway  x.x.x.x
        dns-nameservers 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220
        bridge-ports enp5s0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0


And the VM info are:

Code:

hi,

does it work if you comment auto enp5s0 on the interfaces file?

you could also send the output of ip a and ip link show
