Docker on Windows, list of clients

Hi there
I'm running the latest pihole on Docker Desktop for Windows11, and all is working well.
However, my setup means I cannot see individual clients; all I see is the docker interface.
This has issues like rate limiting the whole network when one client gets a bit too chatty.
I'd like to see individual clients.. I have read the articles, and tried most things, but I suspect I am stumped as I am running Docker Desktop in Windows.
My router does the DHCP and setting the DNS.
I cannot get DHCP to work on pihole as network host is not supported on Docker Desktop, and DHCP is the only way to ensure clients are seen individually, as far as I understand it.

Can someone confirm for me this is indeed the case, so I can stop trying the impossible?
Or is there a method I have not seen yet that would allow pihole to see individual clients, or to enable DHCP on the pihole using Docker for Windows?
I understand it works on linux, so the alternative might be a VM running linux, but this is itself a significant project...

this is my docker run command
docker run -d --name pihole -e ServerIP=192.168.178.2 -e WEBPASSWORD=password -e TZ=NZ -e DNS1=8.8.8.8 -e DNS2=8.8.4.4 -p 80:80 -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp -p 443:443 -p 67:67/udp -v "etc-pihole:/etc/pihole" -v "etc-dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d" --restart=unless-stopped pihole/pihole:latest

many thanks for your responses
Pete
