obi200 google voice setup shows "connecting to 146.112.61.106"
SteveInWA:
Temporarily, at least, change them to the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 DNS as I described, and see if the symptom changes.
jtkleinoh:
made the change with no different results.
it configures for about 5 minutes and gives me that same IP address that it is connecting to.
will next try turning off openDNS parental controls and see if that has any impact
i really was psyched and thought this was going to be easy. sigh.
jtkleinoh:
well, that did it. not sure why. i turned off my blocked sites within my router and also the external netgear/openDNS parental control blocking and it worked perfectly. The way I thought it should. So now I will play with trying to turn things back on.
I know I was never a child of the Internet Age, but it PISSES me off to no end that I have to manage my 12 year olds curiosity due to trust issues. And the sad part is he is not really a bad kid - guess I am just old school sigh.
SteveInWA:
Well, this is a tech support forum for OBi devices, not a parenting site, and I don't have kids, so all I can say is, trust wins out over prohibition. Good luck.
And, speaking of tech support, take a look at the kid's Chromebook to see if you can customize his DNS settings. I don't have any experience with managed Chromebooks, to know the extent to which they lock them down, but I am typing this on my personal, unmanaged CB, and of course, I can set the DNS to whatever I wish.
SteveInWA:
Oh, and before you waste any time trying to make it work, anything to do with openDNS will not work with your OBi device.
