Change the OBi WAN/Internet port from default (2) 10Mbs half-duplex to (1) 100Mbs full-duplex:
Dial *** for Device Configuration Menu
Dial 0 for option
Dial 27# for current value
Dial 1 to set a new value
Dial 1# for new value 100Mbs full-duplex
Dial 1 to confirm/save
Hang up to reboot automatically

OE...I noticed that you like to give the above recommendation. What practical advantages will the OP or anyone else have from changing the default to 100mbs full duplex on a normal functioning OBi?
It's incidental advice that doesn't hurt and could help if you are using an OBi202 as a router or as a switch to connect an additional device. The OP has a Gigabit LAN... he'll like the idea.
A better question is why is the default 10 Mbps half-duplex?
Edit: The default on firmware Build 4330 is (2) 10Mbps. The default on firmware Build 4581 is now (0) Auto. I don't examine every firmware release for such changes. This change is not documented in firmware Release notes. The (0) Auto setting is not documented in the Device Admin Guide. Perhaps switching an OBi202 to Bridge Mode automatically switches it to a 100Mbps switch since it no longer has routing overhead to burden it.

I'd like to know the answer to that question also. As my OBi202 is working perfectly on virtually all the default settings, I hesitate to make the change--though it seems enticing to theoretically have more power.

I want to thank all for their help. I was initially able to get the thing working by turning my routers firewall completely off. I was advised by Tech Support to return the device and mark it defective. I got the replacement today and had the same issues. Only by turning my gateway/router firewall completely off am I able to connect and configure an SP. Once that is done I can turn the firewall back on and am only able to dial out.

Maybe the platform is underpowered for full utilization, call processing plus 100 Mbps traffic? I figure set it for max utility but then don't use. Then if you do use it for the occasional LAN connection, it will serve well enough short term at 100 Mbps.
A router with a 10 Mbps half-duplex uplink seems silly, which is probably why it's not documented.

@robi
You appear to have a rather aggressive/paranoid/insert your own adjective router firewall.
There are some ports that Obihai say need to be open which will possibly cure your no incoming problem.
http://www.obihai.com/faq/Troubleshooting-sec/ports-to-keep-open-on-my-router
However I am somewhat puzzled by that FAQ as I've never encountered a home router that has settings to block outgoing ports.
