Strange network behavior web interface

I finally got to set up my system and had a coule of VMs woring. This evening I tried to connect and got connection reset. I can ping out, before rebooting I could not ping the system from other local nodes. Nothing stands out as wrong. My first fix must have been the stack had locked up during some network re-cabling. ip shows interfaces up, route looks right (far as I remember)

Advice? Thanks!
 
Yes, last octet is .28 and I have the MAC. if I unplug the NIC my ping stops. Flush windows DNS cache and ARP cache and let rebuild itself. .28 still does not ping (like on another NIC.) When I plug it in it gets a DHCP static reservation from pfSense, and the log shows the right MAC that is on the sticker for the machine.

At one point it stopped returning pings, but I think that was because I had misconfigured port bridging in pfSense. Unless it is some obscure timeout that the last update or two added, I am at a loss. Will end up letting it get a lease with a switch in the middle, unplug the pfSense and use a laptop to try and raise the dashboard page on port 8006. Firewall logs dont indicate port blocking, and I do not have other devices using 8006 elsewhere. May use wireshark tonight if I get home earlier. An answer is somewhere!

Thanks for the try, if I may have left something out of my procedure above, please let me know. More thorough than I normally need to be. The hub or switch I use to try the laptop test will keep the physical layer up and should leave my allotted DHCP lease alone. What bad could happen on a two node network once I drop the lab net firewall out of the picture. (It is my DHCP and DNS server, a pi-hole is planned but my board may be bad - won't display console or connect to my new wifi AP. (the list grows and grows!)

Hi, I think I have the same strange behavior and searching for a solution.
The web gui works sometimes only. It's down for hours and back up again but will very fast give me a connection error in the proxmox gui after I have logged in.

All the VMs are responsive and available at all times.

I have tried everything and have noticed that if I move the physical machine to another network it works just fine.
So I have a problem in my network and I just can't figure out what it is.

I have changed routers, cables, physical ports, switches without any luck.
 
Do you type out your proxBox IP or have a bookmark?
Only time I got "connection reset" it was because I forgot the s in https://...
Just throwing that out there.
