I install Proxmox 4 and I have HP server , my HP server has two Lan card , in first installation , I can not connect to UI . and can not ping my system . so I plug cable to another Lan card , and I can access to UI .
I think Proxmox can not detect one Lan card.
I want set public IP to first lan card and set private IP to second Lan Card and can connect to server , with two IP. I want connect to server from public IP from outside my work and connect to server with private IP in work place.

Yes you can use tons of network cards in Proxmox. Do you have iLO enabled on the first NIC? This might prevent it from working with Proxmox. You need to verify in BIOS that your settings are correct. Out of band management might be taking over on that NIC which will prevent its use in Proxmox

I check the bios and I can not find option for iLO .
 
Please help me to solve this problem , if I can not solve this problem I have to move to vmware , we have another HP server and we have vmware and all network work good.
 
I don't know what to tell you. My server has 6 NICs in it and the three server I had set up in a cluster a few months back had 11 in each one. They all worked.

I am not sure this is happen by iLO , I search google and test many way .
How I can understand this is happen by iLO ?
how I can understand my proxmox has driver for second NIC ?

I am not sure , but I think my server does not has iLO card.

I'm guessing the two NICs are the same model, therefore the drivers would be the same, and since the one nic works, so should the other one
