Sorry for a sadly elementary question, but I'm stuck.
I just finished Proxmox installation. The system rebooted. I'm at a text screen that says,
I'm told crossover cables aren't needed anymore, haven't been for ten years or so - which is just as well, because I seem to have unloaded mine somewhere. But I tried with and without a switch mediating between the two machines, and in either case the suggested https: address isn't giving me a connection.
I've dug through various websites enough to think that I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, but evidently something is missing: I'm still getting "Connection failed" on the Ubuntu machine. Would someone kindly give me a shove in the right direction?

I gather that, while the screen seems to be inviting me to log in, it's just kidding - I have to log in from a web browser on another machine. And I guess WiFi is not an option, since I haven't yet had an opportunity to configure password etc. for WiFi on the Proxmox machine. So I think I'm supposed to run an Ethernet cable from that machine to another one - in this case, an adjacent Acer laptop.Welcome to the Proxmox Virtual Environment.
