No networking on containers, need additional setup help please.

[moxxy]

I am looking for a way to automate public IP assignment to my virtual machines. I purchased a provisioning tool for proxmox as a WHMCS plugin and it seems to work great except for KVM. I realize that KVM requires configuration on the VM itself, I can deal with that all works fine with KVMs as expected.

However...

OpenVZ containers will not connect to the internet, confconsole will not write new network settings in the vm.
Upon login, main display usually says urls point to 127.0.0.2
I use "routed mode(venet) to create the containers.

Have tried a few different containers, all more or less provide the same "no internet" results.
Currenly in library to test load: OwnCloud

Have contacted websoftsolus.com, support is very slow and limited.
My NOC provider support is limited to main OS loading.
WHMCS does not provide support for 3rd party plugins.

SERVER SPECS:

Proxmox baremetal server
8 Core
32 Gig ram
2TB HD Space
Public network server setup by NOC provider.
Over a dozen free IPs to test with.
​

WORKING VMS:

(domain names resolve, IP addresses work)
KVM - WHM/cPanel with WHMCS and 'Proxmox Full Automation" plugin.
KVM - Elastix
​

I am going to guess that there are network settings on the proxmox host that need to be added.
I can provide screenshots of any pages you need to see.

Upon running ifconfig to check venet, I see an invalid hw address.

venet0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet6 addr: fe80::1/128 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:7772 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:3 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:476295 (465.1 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Do I edit the venet0 hw address on the proxmox host and replace it with a random one or will that cause problems with a proxmox automation process?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Peace,
Moxxy
