There is no reliable way for the host to see the IP assigned to guests. If you think it's easy please let us know or even better, provide the patch for this feature.

Hi Hart,
Exactly this is what I want to see and I think this will be not difficult to implement this features in proxmox.

Thanks
Jewel

I've actually thought about this as well.  I think I get what he's asking
for.  IIRC, in VMware vSphere you can see the VMs that are assigned to the
guest machines and it is kind of nice to be able to see it there without
having to open up the guest and go look.  It would be very useful if there
was some way that the web interface could gather that information on its
own and display it.  I understand it might be difficult to do but I have
often thought it would be nice if that information was there.

Just my two cents,
