[PVE-User] Proxmox VE Networking issues

[Shain Miley]

Ok..well the issue has been resolved...after I deleted the bridge that I 
made (br0) and made vmbr0 I was able to do another install of of Windows 
and choose the bridge (vmbr0) instead of Nat.

I guess I wonder why..if vmbr0 is supposed to be there by default that I 
was unable to choose it in the first place..might have been an error on 
my part or a bug that needs to be fixed...not sure.

Anyway...thanks for all your help.
