This client is not using Pi-hole for DNS, it is using OpenDNS.

Only Pi-hole can resolve the name pi.hole, so this is why you cannot load the web admin GUI using the domain name.

Fix the client so it uses Pi-hole for DNS.

The host machine has IP 192.168.1.90. I've set this as the DNS for my router and all the clients have this as DNS (see attached screenshot). I am not sure where the OpenDNS IP is coming from. Thoughts? Thx.

I fixed the issue. On my router, I disabled the LAN IPv6. I can now access the admin page and things are working perfectly. Thanks for your feedback.
