PIhole not receiving queries from clients

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

The pi hole should be receiving queries form my desktop and blocking ads

Actual Behaviour:

No query is being resolved and windows says that the dns server is not responding, yet i can ssh into it and ping it. I can also ping outside the network from the pi and i can resolve from the pi

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/ll1570hu2j

Your debug log shows this activity in the past 24 hours, so at least 3 clients have used Pi-Hole. One of the clients will be the Pi itself, so that leave two other clients.

From the Windows client command prompt, run these commands and post the output here:

nslookup pi.hole

ipconfig /all

From the Pi terminal, run this command and post the output here:

echo ">top-clients withzero" | nc localhost 4711

It was working then suddenly stopped

running nslookup pi.hole reutned this

DNS request timed out
timeout was 2 seconds
server: unknown
address: 10.104.243.221
and then the timeout stuff again.

the ipconfig all returned

ether

the command ran on pi returned this

pi

In the DNS settings on the PC, you have 8.8.8.8 also listed. When you have a non Pi-Hole DNS listed, some of the DNS traffic can go to that DNS server which will bypass Pi-Hole. To ensure all DNS traffic goes to Pi-Hole, eliminate the 8.8.8.8 DNS server.

The Pi-Hole is receiving queries from the PC (it has received 1625 of them in the past 24 hours).

How do you have your network configured where the Pi wlan IP is 10.104.243.221/22, and the gateway for that Pi is 10.104.240.2, but

the PC is on 172.16.96.93 with a gateway of 172.16.96.1 and a DHCP server of 10.101.4.43 and a DNS server of 10.104.243.221 (the IP of the Pi)?

I did have it set as the only dns server for my pc, but added googles when the issues started, so I could look for a solution online. The reason the network setup is so complicated, is that I live in a dorm at my universities campus. I cleared it with their networking department and they set a DHCP reservation for me at 10.104.243.221. When the issues started happening I couldn’t go to any websites, but I could ping them and go to them if I used the IP instead, after looking at the log, the pi didn’t show any more queries from my pc or my iPhone after about 7:43 pm

It looks like the PC has moved to a different subnet now.
