Hello,

I recently did a Debian Jessie -> Proxmox conversion, but unfortunately am having issues with NAT on the containers. No matter what I tried, I could not get the container to ping the internal IP of the host when following the docs on the wiki.

I found that I had to set
Code: 
lxc.network.link = vmbr0
in /var/lib/lxc/100/config manually for this to work. Because
Code: 
pct start 100
resets that file, I had to start the container with
Code: 
lxc-start -n 100
.

I have confirmed that I have the latest packages. Is this an isolated incident, or is
Code: 
lxc.network.link = vmbr0
not being set? I have confirmed that this fix also works if added to /etc/lxc/default.conf.
 
Why don't you use a standard network setup, and configure containers with /etc/ove/lxc/<vmid>.conf (or on the GUI)?
 
Thanks for your reply. I may have been unclear, but that's what I did -- I tried configuring the network via the GUI (and later via CLI), and while everything looked okay, it did not work. It wasn't until I set `lxc.network.link = vmbr0` that I was able to communicate with the rest of the network.
