Proxmox internet access

[ThomasS]

Hello,

don't know what I am doing wrong, but my proxmox server itself has no gateway to the internet - the vm's do have access! I can't downloading templates, updating the system or ping a website. But just from the proxmox server itself. The internet access within the virtual machines (kvm & openvz) works well.

The network setting should be standard. Heres my /etc/network/interfaces:

# network interface settingsauto lo
iface lo inet loopback


iface eth0 inet manual


auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address  192.168.1.2
        netmask  255.255.255.0
        gateway  192.168.1.1
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

Did I miss something?

Check DNS settings and try to ping 192.168.1.1

You need to configure a DNS/Nameserver then. What do you have listed under the DNS tab?

 

[ThomasS]

SOLVED

DNS Tab(!) - that is the detail I missed. Have not mentioned that one after snowman66s post. Thank you both.

Is there a corresponding config file for the nameserver setting?

 

[pirateghost]

As with any Debian based system it should be /etc/resolv.conf

 

[ThomasS]

Ah right. I forgot this file and did not mention the difference between gateway and dns-server.
