Ironically having created this thread just now I have solved the problem. I 
hate to say it - as I am sure you probably hear this a lot as an excuse - but 
it is due to poor documentation. I have read in several places that the file 
/etc/netmasks needs to have the simple format of a single line entry with the 
subnet mask on, i.e.

255.255.255.0

I found that this was not the case on my network. I had to specify the network 
then the subnet mask with a space in between them like this:

192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

I then restarted the network services and everything worked as intended WITHOUT 
using nwam. So this is using physical/network:default

I am now going to try a reboot to see if it stays persistant.
