if you can see pi-hole from the router, can you connect to it over SSH and see what pings and what it thinks the network looks like?
Also did the VM router just turn DHCP back on with the wrong settings?
Is pi-hole over WiFi? if it is that could your issue, DHCP/DNS should be over cable as they are required for stable networking
I've just confirmed that I can't SSH to it, it says
yeah, your PI zero goes to renew its DHCP lease and cant as its lost its IP and so cant see the DHCP server its running.
I would read up on how to set a debian static IP, that way you know how and your Pi zero will work all the time
Can I just take a moment to say thank you. This is either super tedious for you or a nothing part of your day, but you've been helping so much and I'm extremely grateful!
I ended up finding this https://www.liberiangeek.net/2024/02/set-up-static-ip-address-debian-12/
And went with the
nmtui
option. Though one of the screenshots was missing, so ended up double checking with https://www.tecmint.com/nmtui-configure-network-connection/Fingers crossed!
