Not Connecting to GUI

[fl8k]

I know this might be dumb but I setup proxmox on my old laptop, but when I try to connect to the GUI on my desktop I time out.

The first thing to do would be to ensure you are entering the IP address correctly. Especially note that Proxmox connects via httpS.
Second, have you set the server up with an IP address that is within your home network's netmask?
Does the laptop have an internet connection? (try ping 8.8.8.8)

well may have found the problem, when I try to ping the laptop I get request timed out. So I'm assuming it isn't connected to the internet. Although I'm not sure how to connect it since I cant get past the pve login. I know the password but am unaware of the login.

The login should be "root". This is common to all linux systems.

Ah yes, I was just misspelling my password. Now that I'm in how can I see if I'm connected to the internet? Sorry for these dumb questions

No worries, this is what the forum is for
ping 8.8.8.8 would show bytes being transferred if connected to the internet.
Also, I assume you are trying to connect over wifi, right?

When I try to ping that I get Destination Host Unreachable. Does that mean I'm just not connected?

I did try to connect it via ethernet but I get the same message.

Yeah, that message means you are not connected. It's strange that it also does not work with Ethernet..
Could you post the output of: cat /etc/network/interfaces
And also: ip a
