No networking ability on v4.4 in base OS (but not the case in VM's)

[budgetcreep2012]

Hey there,

Ive got a Supermicro X11SSH-LN4F (4 ethernet ports + IPMI manager) with v4.4 of ProxMox. Ive tried everything I can think of the get the install to access the WAN (for instance to download a template; it has no networking at all) but it wont have it. However, the internet seems to work just fine with the virtual NIC and therefore works in the VM enviroments. I have set all incoming in IPTABLES to ACCEPT
----------
the contents of my /etc/network/interfaces are:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
< missing eth0 for some reason; ive seen this in a couple threads now
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.28
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.100.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
------------
dmesg | grep "Ethernet" returns a functioning Intel (R) Gigabit Ethernet Network Driver.

Why can't I access the internet in the "on bear metal" OS but I can on the VM's?

can you post the output of

ip addr

and

ip link

?

our default configuration includes a bridge, where eth0 is attached to, what you see is the default and perfectly normal.
cf https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#sysadmin_network_configuration

now to debug your network:
* try to ping the gateway
* if you can ping the gateway. ping and oustide server like 8.8.8.8 ( DNS server from google)
* if you can ping 8.8.8.8 but can't download from the host you have your DNS misconfigured, go in the Datacenter tab opetions and check what is there

This is solved. I had improperly configured the gateway address. Delete this thread sorry.
