I'm having the weirdest time trying to get my OBI100 working. Downstairs in my office I can set it up to work perfectly, but upstairs I'm having nothing but problems.
In both situations I'm configuring from
obitalk.comThe setup in my office:
- Connected via Ethernet directly to router
- OBI gets an IP, registers with
obitalk.com and can receive and dial out with no problems.
Everything works.
Upstairs:
- Connected either via powerline Ethernet or Airport Express -> Ethernet
Some of the problems I'm having here:
Via Powerline Ethernet:
- OBI tells me that it has an IP, but can't access the Internet and I don't get a dial tone
- I can't ping the OBI's IP from another system on my network
- Can't dial into the OBI (*** gets nothing, no dial tone).
Via Airport Express Ethernet-out port
- Can dial in and connect the device to
Obitalk.com.
- Configuring
obitalk.com seems to work, but can't dial out ("no service" error)
- I *can* call into the setup attendant, but nothing I've done here has fixed the issue (switched Ethernet duplex, reset to defaults, etc.)
The odd thing is I have a SPA3102 plugged into the same powerline Ethernet connection and wall plug as noted above and it works just fine — this is actually our default VOIP device in the house. And as I mentioned, if I bring the OBI100 back down to my office it works perfectly.
Has anyone had similarly odd issues? Is there a workaround or anything I can try to figure out what's going on?
