Hi i am new to this Forum

i came from Networking site and i try to get more knowledge on Virtualization in my Homelab..
first i dont get it why Proxmox has so much issues to get a stable NetworkConfiguration with absolute Standard Network Cards

i mean i have network but i cant Upload an Image or as soon a little load get on it Proxmox will loose its Network Interfaces it is real annoying ....

in this case i use Intel X540-T2

i find so many Reports with Google about that issue but it seems on none of them it gets solved..

could someone help me out ?
maybe post me a good tutorial or site with the most common Commands to do Troubleshooting ?

i now fight since 2 weeks with that to me simple issue that shouldnt exist in first place ;(
i could not solve it and honestly i loose interest in that system more and more but i will fight if i can see progress ...
 
With technology, overcoming frustration is the first step to becoming a master.

First things first, check logs and see if anything is throwing errors have you done that?

View kernel logs
Code:
dmesg

View system logs
Code:
journalctl -e

If you have monitor and keyboard to the pve box check the state of the network interfaces when they drop

ip is a nifty tool to do networking stuff. Below command will show you interfaces and their states
Code:
ip link

To learn more about those tools use the man command or search online for their docs or further examples.
