Hey
I recently moved my proxmox hdd into a new desktop pc in a different network. Booting and everything works fine, just network things don't.

The new network is practically identical to the old one - same router type, same provider, still LAN (this time over powerline).
However, the old IP address doesn't work. Changing the ip address in /etc/hosts and /etc/networks/interfaces doesn't help - it doesn't even show up in the router settings. Outgoing network (of course) doesn't work either.

What do I need to do for it to correctly communicate with the router and.. well, work?
 
please post the output of ip a from the proxmox host console and your /etc/network/interfaces file (censor any public IP addresses)
 
I don't see an eno1 interface in your ip address output. Looks like your ethernet interface is named enp6s0. You can try renaming all mentions of eno1 to enp6s0 in /etc/network/interfaces and then restart the PC :).
 
Screenshot 1 shows your nic is disconnected - all links are showing DOWN status

From screenshot 2, it appears the name of the nic has changed on the new system - it was 'eno1', now it is called 'enp6s0' so would need to edit the config. So it should look like this


auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto enp6s0 iface enp6s0 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.1.101/24 gateway 192.168.1.1 bridge-ports enp6s0 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0
