Question #79155 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79155

alleycatuk gave more information on the question:
I forgot to say, before getting your reply, I saw another post that recommended wpa_gui for being able to see what's happening.
When I bring up wpa_supplicant manually, wpa_gui is showing that a network has been added and that the and says STATUS Completed and that the authentication is complete - it also shows my ssid and the router's MAC, which it can obviously see. The only thing missing is the IP address.
This is what dhclient seems to struggle to resolve. I've tried with the /etc/interfaces/ file set to a static ip address but that still didn't connect.
Does anything in the dhcp conf file need to be changed?

Thanks again

Alastair
