Thanks Bruce, it's obvious now, the default IP address for the Local LAN was 
192.168.1.254 but the default address range for the DHCP server was 
192.168.0.xx, different networks. I have changed the Local LANs IP to 
192.168.0.254 and it is now working.
Thanks for your help is it much appreciated.
