IP addressing problem
dewce:
My Obi110 insists on obtaining the IP address 192.168.2.110 (I know this by dialing ***1). However, that is not a valid address given by my router (available addresses are 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.199). I cannot figure out how to get the Obi110 to obtain a valid (i.e. 192.168.1.xxx) address. I cannot log into the Obi110, since my router does not acknowledge the 192.168.2.xxx address. I tried giving it a static IP in my router settings (i.e. 192.168.1.105), but that doesn't work (yes I rebooted the router and the Obi110). Any suggestions on how to make the Obi110 and router play nice with each other? Thanks!

Try setting the OBi Ethernet port to 100 mb/s Full-Duplex (it defaults to 10 mb/s Half-Duplex):
1. Dial *** 0
2. Enter option 27 and press #
3. Press 1 to set a new value
4. Enter a value of 1 and press #
5. Press 1 to confirm/save
6. Hang up
7. Wait for the OBi to reboot

Thanks for the reply. I reset the duplex as you described, and after the reboot, it still defaults back to 192.168.2.110. Any other ideas would be appreciated!
RonR:
Try temporarily connecting the OBi directly to your modem, bypassing the router. Power-cycle both the modem and the OBi after making the direct connection. If the OBi gets a good IP address from the modem, you should be able to reach the echo test at **9 222 222 222. That will narrow the problem down to the router.

OK, when I go directly form the model to the Obi (after rebooting both, of course), I get an IP address of 24.22.58.xxx, and I can complete the echo test. When I plug the router back in and reboot the Obi & modem, the Obi again gets the address of 192.168.2.110, and no calls can then be made.
