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?

Server is at home LAN or in any hosting?

Any firewall on Proxmox server?
 
It is in a university lab with fixed (real) ip. Yes, we have a firewall.

The Node pve came back!

thanks
