gateway is 192.168.1.1, netmask 255.255.255.0, nameserver 192.168.1.1 (or your isp or 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4).
but why you want to set to your RPI the same ip address as your macos has ? give it something different. like 192.168.1.165 …

can you post your /etc/network/interfaces after edit ?

Thanks for the advice, I will try some more combinations. Good pick up with the same IP as Macbook, fortunately, or unfortunately, it was one I tweaked just incase it was sensitive, I haven't actually been trying to set it to the same IP.

Do I need to set both Nameservers? Can I leave them both blank?

I've just changed it trying without the ethernet plugged in and the SSH got stuck on Restarting wlan0, now I can't even get SSH connected without the dongle plugged in and just ethernet:
IP Address*:192.168.1.192
Netmask*:255.255.255.0
Gateway*:192.168.1.1
Nameserver*:8.8.8.8
Nameserver*:8.8.4.4

Thanks IriDium, this is what I am doing. Just having trouble getting the right value for the 5 fields, and getting it to work.
