As you can see from ip a, interface eth0 is still reported as disconnected without IP address.
Ty edit that /etc/dhcpcd.conf file and change 'eth0' into 'wlan0', save and reboot to test if the system comes up with network.

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

After reboot, check again with ip a.
And if successful, you can try edit that /etc/dhcpcd.conf file again to alter ip_address into 10.1.1.3 + reboot + reconfigure Pi-hole etc.

So change all instances of eth0 in that conf file to wlan0?

85

There should only be one "interface eth0" instance.
Change it into "interface wlan0" etc etc.

86

From screenshot, it appears you dont have settings to configure upstream WAN DNS servers.
These DNS servers are probably supplied via the DSL connection.

87

OK, not sure I understand very much of that. So where does that leave us? I have change interface eth0 to wlan0 and am in the process of rebooting.

Am I now ready to go on to the above do you think?

Looks good.
Now you can try alter

static ip_address=10.1.1.240/24

into:

static ip_address=10.1.1.3/24

to change IP + reboot + reconfigure Pi-hole with nameserver hack.

91

Hmmmm! when it ran through the reconfigure, it still showed 10.1.1.240 (even though I had rebooted!)....I must be doing something wrong and causing cascading problems

pihole-hang
pihole-hang913×608 19.5 KB
in the reconfigure..I can't believe it can be this complex, so I must be misunderstanding your instructions through lack of experience/knowledge.....sorry!......and now it has hung before it completed!!

92

below one ?

ip a

Did ip address change ?

93

It did not seem to ....as it flashed through it showed 10.1.1.240 as the PI IP.

Looks like dhcpcd is still acquiring IP details/lease via DHCP from your router instead of taking on the static IP address that you configured.

Below one again pls ?

grep -v '^#\|^$' /etc/dhcpcd.conf

99

A sample configuration for dhcpcd.

See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details.

Allow users of this group to interact with dhcpcd via the control socket.

#controlgroup wheel

Inform the DHCP server of our hostname for DDNS.

hostname

Use the hardware address of the interface for the Client ID.

clientid

or

Use the same DUID + IAID as set in DHCPv6 for DHCPv4 ClientID as per RFC4361.

Some non-RFC compliant DHCP servers do not reply with this set.

In this case, comment out duid and enable clientid above.

#duid

Persist interface configuration when dhcpcd exits.

persistent

Rapid commit support.

Safe to enable by default because it requires the equivalent option set

on the server to actually work.

option rapid_commit

A list of options to request from the DHCP server.

option domain_name_servers, domain_name, domain_search, host_name
option classless_static_routes

Most distributions have NTP support.

option ntp_servers

Respect the network MTU. This is applied to DHCP routes.

option interface_mtu

A ServerID is required by RFC2131.

require dhcp_server_identifier

Generate Stable Private IPv6 Addresses instead of hardware based ones

slaac private

Example static IP configuration:

#interface wlan0
#static ip_address=192.168.0.10/24
#static ip6_address=fd51:42f8:caae:d92e::ff/64
#static routers=192.168.0.1
#static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1 8.8.8.8 fd51:42f8:caae:d92e::1

It is possible to fall back to a static IP if DHCP fails:

define static profile

#profile static_eth0
#static ip_address=192.168.1.23/24
#static routers=192.168.1.1
#static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

fallback to static profile on eth0

#interface eth0
#fallback static_eth0

interface eth0
static ip_address=10.1.1.3/24
static routers=10.1.1.1
static domain_name_servers=127.0.0.1
interface eth0
static ip_address=10.1.1.240/24
static routers=10.1.1.1
static domain_name_servers=127.0.0.1

Yeah copying and pasting things here can be tricky sometimes.
