LAN Inaccessible from host

My Promox server (an old Dell Optiplex 960 with some upgrades) is unable to other devices on my LAN. The system uses an Intel 82567LM NIC.

My server is located at `192.168.50.77`, gateway at `192.168.50.1`, and the other device I'm pinging is at `192.168.50.71`. On my server, I can ping `google.com` just fine, I can ping the guest VMs, and I can ping my gateway; but I can't ping the other device. I have no clue why this is happening.

Also, I can ping the server and its guests from my other device just fine.

Output of cat /etc/network/interfaces might help us.
Did you check the config of your router? Maybe you plugged the Optiplex in a Port on your router that is for guest access, only allowing the connected device to access the internet but not any devices on your LAN? A "Fritxbox" for example is capable of doing this on Port 4.

Hey! I ran the command:

Code:
root@pve:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp0s25 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.50.77/24
        gateway 192.168.50.1
        bridge-ports enp0s25
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

This was its output. The port isn't on my main router, but instead on a mesh extender. That shouldn't be the issue though because other devices on that extender work just fine. Also, remember, I can ping the server just fine. It behaves like a one-way connection.
