Windows VM has no internet and the wrong IP address.

I have been doing some network remodeling. After trying pfSense and not having it work with what I needed I switched to a different hardware router and I got everything set up. When everything was said and done, I started changing IPs for all of my homelab devices from 192.168.x.x to 10.0.x.x. I went to check my VMs and one of them changes on its own while my Windows VM decided it didn't want to change. I can't change the ip manually, and it says that it doesn't have internet. I tried passing through a port through PCI so that VM has its own connection to the switch but that just gave it a second 192.168.x.x ip and it still has no internet.

Does anyone know how I can get a windows VM to update its IP on a new network? Is it something I'll have to change in Windows or is it a setting I'll change through Proxmox? Any help would be welcome.
 
Have you checked the network in that VM if the same bridge after you change the Subnet?
When I checked it was the same bridge it always was.


I fixed this problem by restarting my server and my router so they could sync up. I think pfSense started up and gave out an ip to my VM before I killed it so it was still trying to find that. After getting both restated it allowed them to see each other and start working the way that they should be.
