The issue I am facing:
Pihole is set up as dhcp and dns server on lan, serves IP address and gateway but does not resolve DNS queries
Details about my system:
I have a tplink adsl modem set without dhcp since pihole on lan is set to run that.
tplink modem/ router network info as follows
Modem tplink
Dsl modem router on plusnet
Ip x.x.x.x ( redacted)
Dns server 212.159.6.10 and 212.159.6.9
Gateway 172.16.12.172
Lan IP 10.0.0.1
Subnet 255.0.0.0
Dhcp off
Pihole is on 10.0.0.2 /24 acting as dns and dhcp for lan
laptop on lan receives dhcp from pihole
pihole appears to be be receiving the dns queries but not replying back to pc with response.
external network routing test
ping to 8.8.8.8 works perfect so network routing is there
ping to bbc.co.uk shows in pi logs but no reply to PC
similar web browse to bbc.co.uk does not resolve.
nslookup of bbc.co.uk returns the following
Server:pihole
Address 10.0.0.2
DNS request was timed out
timeout was 2 seconds.
ping pihole resolves pihole.local and gives replies <2ms
Expected behaviour
both ping and traceroute on IP and DNS match with DNS resolution
What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
this is a new bought pihole on a pi4 with LCD screen. I have limited linux knowledge but have searched the forum for similar problems and answers but cant find a resolution.
Log file as follows
This process collects information from your Pi-hole, and optionally uploads it to a unique and random directory on tricorder.pi-hole.net.
The intent of this script is to allow users to self-diagnose their installations. This is accomplished by running tests against our software and providing the user with links to FAQ articles when a problem is detected. Since we are a small team and Pi-hole has been growing steadily, it is our hope that this will help us spend more time on development.
NOTE: All log files auto-delete after 48 hours and ONLY the Pi-hole developers can access your data via the given token. We have taken these extra steps to secure your data and will work to further reduce any personal information gathered.
