====== Proxmox - Troubleshooting - No internet on VM ======

Installed **Ubuntu Server 20.04**, but no Internet.

During the install of Ubuntu it gets to networking, where it reports no networking found. 

  * Tried with DHCP and with Static IP.
  * The VM does get created but no networking on it.

Can ping the Proxmox host, but nothing else.

----

===== Check PCI devices =====

<code bash>
lspci | grep Ethernet
</code>

returns:

<code bash>
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 15f3 (rev 02)
</code>

----

===== Does the NIC support bridge mode with the default driver =====

On the Proxmox host:

<code bash>
brctl show
</code>

returns:

<code bash>
bridge name bridge id         STP enabled interfaces
vmbr0       8000.a8a1592fb8a6 no          enp3s0
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  A newer driver might need to be compiled to get bridge mode supported.

===== Check udev =====

<code bash>
udevadm info /sys/class/net/vmbr0
</code>

returns:

===== Check the Network Link file shown by udev =====

<code bash>
cat /usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link
