sing Java KVM, I am able to ping the guests on vmbr0 and the gateway identified in /etc/network/interfaces, but my routing is fouled up.

Pinging 8.8.8.8 I get "Destination Host Unreachable" from 169.254.249.188, so I ran "ip a | grep 169.254" and learned:

I suspect a problem with my routing table, everything I have tried has failed me. Would some kind soul help me?
 
It seems I ignored the obvious:
Code: 
ip route add default via 206.196.116.126

So, now my question is: How do I make this permanent?

The initial cause of this situation, involved my fat fingers. I thought I was on a lab computer, when I started installing pi-hole, I realized my error - apparently too late, it did something to PVE before I told it to stop.
 
@KatyComputer The source IP address begins with 169.254. That sounds to me your host is not getting an IP address via DHCP. You may have to check this first.
 
@KatyComputer Strange. Normally that IP address range is for BOOTP protocol. I didn't know that you can assign IP addresses in that range to the network interface.
 
This is a foul workaround, to be honest. If the settings were correct in the first place, the route would have been set correctly.
