More or less new to the pi... so please treat me as a noob !
Installed diet pi on a raspi 3, installed pihole and all is dandy.
But power off and on again and the network won't connect... unless I start dietpi-config, go into network and click "apply"!
Obviously it's saving my static settings as they appear correctly... it's just not applying them on boot.
Help please ?
Ethernet won't connect on power off/on Topic is solved
Re: Ethernet won't connect on power off/on
Have you fixed the device's IP address on the router?

Hi John... no I havnt, the router sends DCHP to other devices, but as the pi has a static ip outside the DCHP pool, it will never be reassigned.
The issue seems to be that the pi isn't assigning the static settings on boot, therefore the router isn't seeing it.

Re: Ethernet won't connect on power off/on
Addendum :
Set the network back to DCHP... same
Set "don't boot until network connection" or whatever its called, and it's been in a loop for a hour now... so I'm sure it's the pi end, and not a router thing.
Can I break out of this loop now, or am I reinstalling ?
TIA

@G0TSG
Have you set it up via dietpi-config?
Please try to boot without waiting forever for network, then check/paste:
