I have a .co.uk domain hosted with Plusnet and a fixed IP address.

All sorted now.
i needed to add the "." for the domain a record which then directed the domain to my static ip and then, as bob pulled mentioned below, I had to add the "." to the end of the domain in the Cname right side record.
thanks
