Above shows the Pi has IP `10.1.1.240` configured on the `wlan0` (WiFi) network interface.

Above shows Pi-hole is configured to be used for the `eth0` network interface.
But according to `ip a`, this `eth0` interface is not connected "`NO-CARRIER`" and is not configured with an IP address:

Try run below one, select reconfigure, and when asked for the interfaces, select the `wlan0` interface or both:
`pihole -r`
Afterwards, test again with the `nslookup` command on Pi:
`nslookup pi.hole localhost`
`nslookup pi.hole 10.1.1.240`
And on the client:
`nslookup pi.hole 10.1.1.240`

I was beginning to think that might be where the problem lay...as when I ran pihole -r the first time it gave me an option of eth0 or wlan0 and the default was eth0 - which I choose without thinking and this Rpi 3b+ is connected wirelessly to the router. So the problem is that when I run pihole -r again it does not give me a choice of interfaces anymore...as it has baked in the first choice!....so I need to get pihole -r to do a fresh run. How would I do that. Thank you for your time and help, I really appreciate it.

You need to select "Reconfigure":

Afterwards, check if blocked domains have been pulled in:
`echo '>stats' | nc localhost 4711`
If not, below one forces a gravity pull:
`pihole -g`
And check after again:
`echo '>stats' | nc localhost 4711`
And oc the `nslookup`'s !

On Pi:
`sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471[1-8] '`
`echo '>stats' | nc localhost 4711`
`ip a`
`grep 'IPV[4,6]_ADDRESS\|PIHOLE_INTERFACE' /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf`
`nslookup pi.hole localhost`
`nslookup pi.hole 10.1.1.240`
* * *
On client:
`nslookup pi.hole 10.1.1.240`
EDIT: ohw a reboot sometimes helps 😉
`sudo reboot`

Ohw and just to be sure, no alien config files that dont belong to Pi-hole (might want to edit out personal details you dont want to post) ?
`sudo grep -v '^#\|^$' -R /etc/dnsmasq.*`
