As the title says I'm having issues with having internet on multiple VM's. Only the first booted VM gets net and local lan access. Any VM booted afterwards cannot connect to the internet or is seen on the network. It seems like it not being passed thru after the first VM. I'm new to Proxmox and a novice when it comes to Linux. I've been running VM's via VMWare for over 10 years

VM's: Windows 7 - Windows 10 - Windows 11 - Linux Mint 21.1 - TrueNAS (static IP)

Hardware: Dell PowerEdge T610
All VM's connect to bridge vmbr1 which uses eno2 Ethernet.

Can't show my net config as cat /ect/network/interfaces gives me this error
/ect/network/interfaces: No such file or directory

Do not put two independent bridges/NICs into the same network! This will not work reliable! So if 192.168.1.69 is your main IP of the PVE Node remove .70 from vmbr1.

Actually I set that based on a tutorial I followed, and I had already removed that IP and still no change. I even tried just pointing my VM's to vmbr0 and none of the VM's get an IP/Internet/Net access. Seems like the VM's network aren't being passed thru.

Try

Probably you noticed meanwhile...: Use "etc" instead of "ect" ;-)

Opps LOL, see told you I was a Linux novice.
root@pve:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

Figured out my issue, it was my Cisco Switch not allowing more than one system to access a port. I plugged directly into my Router and all my VMs had local net and internet access. I then set port 6 on my Switch from Desktop to None and replugged in my Proxmox to that port and all VMs still have internet and local LAN access.

Switch - Cisco Catalyst 2960-S
