aaahhh spoke too soon, not a major thing...

it seems since turning off DHCP on the BT hub it seems any wireless device cannot gain an IP address?

is there a way round this?

You'd need to configure the hub as a DHCP relay agent. I suspect that this isn't possible with a standard BT business hub. I'd be looking to shut down DHCP on the windows box, and re-instate it with a similar config (wiht your reserved static addresses for the servers) on the BT hub. AD-interated DNS will simply just work, so long as you configure the BT hub to set 192.168.1.4 as the sole DNS server for each client.

But... you may find that said wireless devices don't automatically work elsewhere
