Problem connecting proxmox to internet

I'm having trouble on my network. I believe that the configuration in proxmox is correct, but the real machine (proxmox 5) does not connect in the internet. I've tried something and it did not work, any suggestions?

/etc/network/interfaces looks like this:

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug enp5s0

iface enp5s0 inet dhcp

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
netmask 255.255.255.224
gateway XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
bridge_ports enp5s0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0



when I give an "ifconfig" the inet e inet6 of the enp5s0 does not appear (in the node that is connecting in the internet the inet appears)

iface enp5s0 inet dhcp - set static IP first

Hello Hollis, where would you put this line?It would be like this?


auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug enp5s0

iface enp5s0 inet dhcp -set static iP first

[...]

Could you tell me why on one machine it works and another one that was working stopped working?

It is in a university lab with fixed (real) ip. Yes, we have a firewall.

The Node pve came back!

thanks
