Hi everyone I'm completely new l and this is my first install. I'm having trouble connecting to the internet to access the web. I've figured out that for some reason my router has automatically given the server an I.P. address. I've made sure the gateway is matching the router's ip. I've made sure the ip is matching in network interfaces and /hosts. I'm completely lost on what to do now.
 
Trying to upload pics but it's saying files are too big....
This is PVE, not a NAS. Why (and how) would you try to upload pictures to a virtualization host?

I'm having trouble connecting to the internet to access the web.

Please start by giving us some information, like the copy-n-pasted output of some commands, run on a PVE host (either via SSH or via "Datacenter --> <one Node> --> Shell", both ways allow copy-n-paste):

PVE System information:
  • pveversion -v
  • apt update && apt -d -y full-upgrade # update package list and download (not:install) packages

Basic network information:
  • ip address show # currently active IP addresses on one NODE
  • ip route show # currently active routing table on one NODE
  • cat /etc/network/interfaces # configuration of the network and/or ifquery -a for comparison from one NODE
  • cat /etc/resolv.conf # DNS resolver settings
  • ping -c 1 -W 1 9.9.9.9 # a simple "ping" to verify outgoing routing
  • host quad9.net # a simple DNS lookup to verify reachable DNS servers
Those are examples. You may add/edit commands and options if you can enrich the information given. Oh, and please put each command in a separate [CODE]...[/CODE]-block for better readability.

i meant to the actual forum to show you the problem I was having, so you could help provide a solution. But fortunately I was able to fix it by just reinstalling. Turns out, the system wasn't registering an ethernet connection and so it was trying to configure a wireless connection. Restarting somehow made Proxmox see the ethernet connection and so problem solved!
