Connect Failed: No Response on multiple Google Voice / Obi 508 Devices
Chronoblast:
For me setting the DNS to 1.1.1.1 and flushing the DNS cache worked only intermittently - the proxy IP address kept going bad.
I fixed it on my 1022 phone by going to the local (built in to the phone) web interface (in my case typing 192.168.1.16 into my browser address field), then:
1. On the menu on the left select System Management, then WAN Settings
2. Scroll down to Local DNS Records
3. Uncheck the Default box on record 1
4. Put:
obihai.telephony.goog=216.239.36.144
5. Select Submit at the bottom of the page
6. Select Reboot at the top of the page

Do not follow this advice. Never hard-code server IP addresses; they can change in the future, and then you will have a difficult-to-diagnose problem that nobody can help you figure out, because nobody does this.
It is entirely unnecessary. When IP addresses change, it can take some time for the new IP address to propagate to all DNS servers. After that happens, there's no need to reference a server's IP address.

It's a work-around, and it worked for me on both OBI200s. After someone reports that the DNS change has been propogated (at least to the ATT DNS server), without making a change, I'll change it back!
SteveInWA:
It works just fine on the Google DNS (8.8.8.8 ) and on the Quad9 high security DNS (9.9.9.9)

I changed my Obi's DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and I'm back in action.
Not sure if it just flushed the cache.
If you can't find where to do this, go to the IP address of your device in a web browser (something like http://192.168.1.54 ) and use admin/admin to login.
Go to System Management -> WAN Settings.
Uncheck DNSServer1 and DNSServer2 at Default on the right.
Enter: 1.1.1.1 in one and 1.0.0.1 in the other.
Save at the bottom.
Reboot at the top right.
That's what did the trick for me.
You can also access the "Expert Settings" from the ObiTalk.com pannel, but the steps are nearly the same, and oddly, doing it there does not require a reboot - mine found the new DNS service immediately on saving!
BTW, if you want to use the IP address as Joseph shows doing, dial ***1 from any phone on your Obihai box to see what the IP address is.
(I have mine reserved as a specific address by the router, but oddly at times it wants to use something else anyway.)
