Hello everyone. Faced the following problem. Configured NAT and DHCP for virtual machines on Proxmox. After each reboot, when receiving an IP address via DHCP, the virtual machine with Windows constantly finds a new network. Although the network parameters are correct. What could be the reason for this and how to fix it?
hi,
how is the windows VM network configured?
do you assign "static" addresses to VMs via DHCP using the mac addresses?
what do you mean exactly? does it receive a different IP address at every boot?

Every time the Windows virtual machine is rebooted. The network connection manager is discovering a new network. For example, there was network 1, and after a reboot, the dispatcher showed network 2 and so on. The machine receives the ip address from the network that is configured for dnsmasq. I saw this when the physical router was changing and the network parameters issued via dhcp remained the same. Perhaps I associate this with a change in the MAC address of the router. in the case of Proxmox, this is the bridge in which the virtual machines are included.
you can take a look at this thread [0] where they talk about some workarounds.
the issue seems to be on windows end, detecting the network as new when it's not (possibly mac address changes?)
hope this helps
