You have Pi-Hole configured for IP 240, but the Pi does not have that IP address on that interface. Verify the static or reserved IP of the Pi, ensure it is assigned to the interface used to connect your Pi to the network, then run pihole -r (select reconfigure) to set up the Pi-Hole for that IP and interface.

And read this bit bout Asus routers:

Thank you for your suggestions: I checked the fixed IP and did the pihole -r. But see the errors below. Apparently no cache available for the blocklists.....what am I missing?

So PiHole, it appears - cos I have tested this, does not seem to be able to access the web!?!

pj@pj-selgbuild:~$ nslookup pi.hole
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53

** server can't find pi.hole: NXDOMAIN

pj@pj-selgbuild:~$ nslookup pi.hole 10.1.1.240
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

pj@pj-selgbuild:~$

Try change nameserver to that of Google's 8.8.8.8 in file /etc/resolv.conf:

echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf

And run repair:

pihole -r

When repair is successfull, you can try install nmap again to see if your router dishes out two DNS servers.

Thank you for that suggestion. I tried it and it does not work...well nor for long......the file quickly reverts to nameserver 127.0.0.1. I can access the first 1 or 2 web pages.....but when I use the command line for pinhole -r the blocklists still will not get downloaded and when I check the resolv.conf it has gone back to 127.0.0.1

Can you post outcome for below three ?

That look all good.
Can you post stats on Pi-hole (might need to break with ctrl-c) ?

echo '>stats' | nc localhost 4711

What about an nslookup on Pi-hole itself ?

nslookup pi.hole 10.1.1.240

And an nslookup from that Linux client ?

nslookup pi.hole 10.1.1.240

Firewall on Pi-hole active maybe ?

sudo iptables -L -n

No route from the client ?

traceroute 10.1.1.240
