[Solved]Netcfg wifi static connection issue

I have set up netcfg to use a wifi static ip address [to use as a small home server]

CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection using a static IP'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa'
ESSID='MyNetwork'
KEY='WirelessKey'
IP='static' # Any other CONNECTION='ethernet' options may be used.
ADDR='192.168.1.23'
GATEWAY='192.168.1.1'
DNS=('192.168.1.1')
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#HIDDEN=yes

Edited and used the above config

I can access [ping] local network but I cannot ping www.google.co.uk at all, odd thing is I can see my server from my desktop and web page I created is visible on the internet so port forwarding is working fine.

Only issue is going to be updating or adding packages

Has anyone else created a static wifi shed any light on my problem?
