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.

```

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!?!

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

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`
