VM Connectivity Issue in Proxmox2

[tincboy]

I'm trying to start using Proxmox2 in development,
When I create a VM via Proxmox interface it's OK and network is fine, but when I use the command below it's network is not working and VM can't even ping gateway:

/usr/sbin/qm create 101 --cdrom local:iso/windows.iso --name  srv6426 --net0 rtl8139 --bootdisk ide0 --ostype other --ide0  local:25,format=raw --memory 1024 --onboot no --cores 1

Any suggestion on how to find what's the issue?

Is there any difference in the generated configuration file (/etc/pve/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf)?

There's very tiny differences:

Working VM:

bootdisk: ide0
cores: 1
ide0: local:4301/vm-4301-disk-1.raw
ide2: local:iso/windows.iso,media=cdrom
memory: 512
name: workingvm
net0: rtl8139=66:DF:87:51:33:37,bridge=vmbr0
ostype: wxp

Not working one:

bootdisk: ide0
cores: 1
ide0: local:4347/vm-4347-disk-1.raw
ide2: local:iso/windows.iso,media=cdrom
memory: 512
name: notworking
net0: rtl8139=02:C5:30:4C:C2:92,bridge=vmbr0
onboot: 0

Would you please let me know what is the command which Proxmox2 use to create VMs?

This is the command. Maybe it helps when you set the correct ostype?

# qm set <VMID> --ostype wxp

(you can also pass that to the create command)

 

[tincboy]

fixing OS type didn't help,
The command is:

/usr/sbin/qm create 4343 --cdrom local:iso/windows.iso --name  srv6426 --net0 rtl8139,bridge=vmbr0 --bootdisk ide0 --ostype other --ide0  local:25,format=raw --memory 1024 --onboot no --cores 1

So the configuration file is the same? Then it is more likely that you do something different inside the guest?

 

[dietmar]

BTW, what exactly is 'not working' - any error message?

I'm really confused while their configs are the same one of them has working network and is accessible via it's IP but the second one it not, ( I even swapped the IPs and still the notworking VM is not reachable via network )
