Dialing ***1 on phone reports IP as 192.168.1.1

Router is at 192.168.1.1
Obi is at 192.168.1.2
This does not compute.
It sounds like you are setting a static IP address, and it got set to 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.1.2. If your router is 192.168.1.1 and ***1 reports the same, the two aren't likely to communicate.
You really ought to leave the OBi running DHCP and let it obtain it's IP address automatically from your router.
I would recommend you do a hardware reset on the OBi through the access hole in the bottom of the unit. Hold it depressed for an extended period of time until the unit reverts back to factory defaults. Then check its IP address with ***1 and leave it there until there's a good reason to set a static IP address.

Hi Ron
Thanks for the reply. Out of the box - the Obi - after I turned it on and connected to router reported 192.168.1.2
I mistyped if I said the Obi was at 192.168.1.1 - sorry. I was anxious to get it hooked up. Current status - after resetting to factory default is :
Obi is still at 192.168.1.2 Router is 192.168.1.1
I can ping 192.168.1.2, the obi is in the list of connected devices in the router, but I still cannot get to the web admin page - putting in 192.168.1.2 in the URL bar returns a could not connect. I do have 192.168.1.2 in the DMZ in the router. I'm a techie by trade so I'm dertermined to get this working.
RonR:
You shouldn't need to put the OBi in the DMZ, and that doesn't affect LAN-to-LAN accesses anyway. You also shouldn't need to change your router's default DHCP range. Be careful changing a lot of things that don't need changing as it's easy to accidentally introduce new problems.
I would recommend resetting the OBi back to factory defaults using the internal reset button that's accessible through the bottom of the unit. Make sure you hold it depressed for an extnded period of time.
Also, if have any programs that filter things to the browser (like AD removers, etc.), temporarily disable them as they can sometimes block more than they're intended to.

intersys,
Now that the IPs settings are cleared up, the next step:
Check your router port forward settings. See if you don't have any other service being port forwarded on port 80. Might be conflicting with the OBi web page which is also on port 80 by default. If you find you have another service running on port 80 you will have to stop that service before you can get to the OBi web page. Then you can either change the port config of the conflicting service or change the OBi default port number to something other than 80 once you gain initial access to the web page of the OBi unit.
RonR:
Port Forwarding and DMZ only affect WAN-to-LAN operations in a router. LAN-to-LAN is not affected by either.
