Multiple obihai devices?

Thanks, i'll search the forums for anything specific to freephoneline/fongo.
From playing around, the exact problem on (obibridge) - It can only make and establish (haven't tested receive yet btw) an outbound call if that same box makes a call to the obitalk echo test immediately prior (regardless of what obi#1 obirouter has done)
Yes, you have a problem: you can only register one device at a time to your freephoneline account's SIP credentials. Since they offer unlimited calling on that registration, it's considered abuse to share it with more than one device. They're detecting that you are using multiple user agents (OBi devices) and blocking that scenario. This is to prevent person A from paying for service, and then sharing his service with person B. This is the same approach taken by VoIP providers like Vonage, who lock down their ATAs.
If you want to use multiple OBis, then either get another paid SIP credential from freephoneline, or use a different service provider.

I do have multiple paid sip credentials from them - It worked just fine with only using a single obihai, however, I needed to add a 3rd phoneline / purchased another obihai for the additional phoneports - My problem is getting them to work together.
Putting both lines on the same device works with no problems (with the obihai as router in front of my router). Right now i'm trying to split them so line1 is on device1, and line2 is on device2
Worst case I can (probably!) setup all 3 lines on a single obihai, and have it route the 3rd line through obitalk to the phone port on the 2nd device

1. Put both Obis in parallel behind the router using their WAN ports. If not connecting anything to their LAN ports the setting of router or bridge mode does not really matter. Invoking DMZ, firewall, port forwarding etc should not be necessary.
2. How many phones do you have and how do you want them plugged into the OBi's? And which phones do you want to ring when a call comes in on each of the 3 accounts? And which phones do you want to be able to make outgoing calls on each account?
3. Each account should be configured on ONE OBi ONLY. Easiest is all on one OBi.
4. Configure the OBis to forward incoming and outgoing calls between themselves to meet your answers to questions in #2 above.

While likely another problem (though may or may not be related), i've never been able to get the obihai itself to work behind the router, only in front of it. Obitalk works, but not other sips.
I've moved back to just the single device connected, bridge mode, behind router. The existing setup works just fine in front of the router (with 2 lines), just not behind it.
The end result is i'd like to have 3 active unique lines on 3 of the 4 ports of both devices, with all phones able to send/receive on their designated line.
I'll poke at it a bit more, and if I don't see any reason why it's not working i'll move it back to obi#1 in front of the router with the lines configured on it, and see whether I can connect obi#2 behind the router, and just configure obi#1 to handle line#3 also, but direct the calls to obi#2 for the physical connection for line#3

Either you are doing something wrong or you have a cr*p router. :(
