I have 2 network connections, 1 GB and 10 GB. On my 1 GB connection I can get an Internet Connection with my Windows 11 VM. When switch to my 10 GB connection on the VM, I have no internet connection. Both network connections are on the same subnet as shown in the screenshot below. I have Linux Bridge setup for 1 GB on vmbr0 and the 10 GB on vmbr1. 1 GB connection is for management and 10 GB connection want to use for the VM's. From the 10 GB switch I can ping the Internet and Proxmox Host on both IP's on Linux Bridges. From the Proxmox Host, I can also ping the Internet.

I am using the paravirtualized drivers as shown below and have them installed on my VM. I have tried using both DHCP and Static Addressing on my VM, but still no Internet connection. Doubled checked my IP addressing when set to static on the VM and it is correct. I had my other Administrator look at it too and could not find anything wrong.

I have tried changing the MTU on 10 GB connection but still no Internet, so I set it back to 1500. Any suggestions to try, I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your response. Looked at the thread above, but removing the IP from the 10 GB Linux Bridge did not change anything. I still have no Internet connection on my Windows 11 VM on my 10 GB network connection. Any more ideas of what I can check? Thanks

A good starting point could be, to not disconnect (link_down=1) the vNIC, no?

I missed the disconnect (link down). The disconnect is no longer checked and the link is not showing down as shown below but still did not fix the issue with no Internet on the VM. Still Stumped on this one.

Show output from the Proxmox host for:

Code:
ip a

cat /etc/network/interfaces

cat /etc/hosts

cat /etc/resolv.conf

hostname

Please post this in the code-editor, as I have done above.

I believe the OP has already realized this, from the ip a output I requested, & he subsequently liked my post, so I surmise that he has realized that the cable (10GB) is incorrectly connected to ens3f1 (which has BROADCAST) instead of ens3f0.

Thank you, I knew it was probably something simple, but was not sure what. Running the commands, rather than looking at the GUI, solved the problem.
