One of my VMs (Windows XP) has lost connection and I can't recovery it anymore.
All the others VMs work fine on the same node.
Network: IntelE1000 in NAT Mode.
WindowsXP guest shows there are no IP address allocated to the network card. Looks like Proxmox doesn't allocate an IP address for this VM/Network Card.
Can anyone suggest me how to solve this issue?

Code:

Hi,

perhaps you did accidentially disabled the network card of the VM? I assume you use a DHCP server in your LAN. Does any other VM/physical machine which is configured for DHCP has aný issues?

The network card is not disconnected. I even tried to add new virtio and IntelE1000 network cards but it didn't help me.
All other VMs work fine. I have 18 VMs on the same server and all of them work fine.
 
Nope, a fixed IP address didn't help either.
Looks like there is no network connection between VM and host.
 
All drivers are installed (Intel and virtio). But it doesn't work with all types of network cards.
Even realtec network card doesn't work.
 
If it works on all others, then there must be something wrong with this one.

Does it work on an additional fresh VM installation (XP)?
 
Thanks, the problem was solved by re-installing guest's firewall which blocked connection.
