Hello for some odd reason my proxmox frizzed up on me not sure why. I'm still kind of new to proxmox only been learning it and running it for a month now. But some how or reason a few hours ago it frizzed up on me. When i logged into the server directly it was fine I just couldn't login through the webpage address. So i rebooted it and it was find. One thing i found strange is that the server is a 192.xxx.xxx.185 address and on the direct screen before login says 192.xxx.xxx.200 address. However i can login back now with 185. I'm wondering why there is that other address on the screen before the login. Can someone please help me out with this.
 
Hi,

I think you have changed the network Address or do you have a DHCP.
You have also change the IP in /etc/hosts.

Hello no i have not changed no network address. Yes I'm Running DHCP it's my home network. Funny thing is i can login with the 185 address But i can see the 200 address on the screen Not sure why.

The address showed in the console after startup is the content from /etc/hosts file. If you get afterwards an alternative address from DHCP server it differs from the really assigned address - if you just test you can ignore this. To be "clean": ensure that you get always the same address from DHCP (or better: deactivate DCHP and assign to your server has a fix exclusive address) and write that address into /etc/hosts accordingly.
