I am a newbie and this is my first ever installation of Proxmox. It did install without issues, but I am unable to access the server at the indicated address. What are the most common issues I should check to be able to connect via web browser to my newly installed Proxmox VE?

Ping times out with 100% packet loss.

I did check and ethernet cables appear to be securely attached. Thank you!

Make sure that...
1.) You dont forget the "https:". A "http:" won't work.
2.) You dont forget the port ":8006" in the URL
3.) You install PVE with a IP that is part of the subnet your clients are using. With the default IP 192.168.100.2/24 only devices using a IP 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.100.3 to 192.168,100.254 can access the PVE server.
4.) You don't use a IP that is part of your routers DHCP server IP range so that a IP won't be assigned twice.

Can you connect a display to your node and confirm what the IP is? It should display it when it boots up. Better yet, login and run "ip addr" without the quotes and post the output.

Ping should work to a Proxmox node by default assuming you're on the same subnet and you're pinging the correct IP.

if you're using the right IP, I suspect the network config is incorrect. if you could post the content of /etc/network/interfaces that would help as well
