No DNS involved since its DHCP.

Re: I cannot connect to my work server from my wireless connection

Maybe I've misunderstood. Are the PCs AND the server connected to the LAN side of the router (wired or wireless), with the WAN side connected to the internet? Is the router acting as DHCP server for the PCs AND the server? In our setup, we have PCs connected wirelessly to a router, with the router WAN port connected to the office wired network (including the server), and the wired network connected to the Internet via a separate router.

Not the same thing. DHCP allocates addresses, DNS converts names to addresses.

Re: I cannot connect to my work server from my wireless connection

Is there an "AP isolation" feature on the Router and if i so is it enabled.

I know some routers can isolate the wireless from the wired lan to improve secuirty the feature is usally labled as "Ap isolation" "Wireless client isolation" or by placing them on a Seapearte (Virtual lan) Vlan (e.g Vlan0 wired Vlan1 wireless)

Might be worth checking the secuirty settings for the router to see if any such setting exists and disable it if needed.
