New install uses eth0 port not eth2, on correction: web access "connection was reset"

[lifeboy]

I have done a fresh install of Proxmox PVE on a machine and when the installation is complete, after restarting, eth0 is used to set up the bridge. In fact eth2 (eth0-3 exist) is the correct cabled port.

So by changing the port to eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces, the network access is activated. I can ssh into the machine. However attempting to access http://192.168.121.123:8006 results in a certificate warning and after accepting the exception, I get a page that says: "The connection was reset".

On the server:

What could be causing this? Any idea on how to fix this?

Further to this matter:

In /var/log/syslog, I get this when I try to access the gui

pveproxy[5044]: problem with client 192.168.121.1; rsa_padding_check_pkcs1_type_1: block type is not 01
pveproxy[5044]: WARNING: Can't call method "timeout_reset" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/HTTPServer.pm line 225.

This seems to be related to Firefox somehow. Clearing the firefox cookies and cache (no need for history or other items) resolved the problem. Strange.
