You know, we're all here users like you...not sure if you tried the troubleshooting steps I suggested before pushing CAPS LOCK. :)
I understand how you could have thought somebody posting here would be interested in troubleshooting. Anyway, I found it to be informative.

I've been working through a similar issue with tech support. Following a reboot or power loss, the Obi110 would occasionally come up normally. More often, I found it with the Ethernet LED flickering, the phone LED off, and the device unreachable on the network. I'm still watching the beast, but after ~24 hours and a couple dozen power cycles I believe the following may have resolved the issue...
Reset the Obi to factory defaults
Set the Ethernet port to 100Mb FDX, if desired
Remove the device from the obitalk.com portal and re-add it
Make any configuration changes from the expert option on the portal
This may work if all changes are done on the device as well, haven't tested that yet. In my case I believe it was using both the portal and local menus to make changes that caused the problem. It appears that this has also resolved issues with local changes reverting to defaults on reboot.

Frustrating until you figure it out. If Obi can push stuff, they should also learn how to read changes back.
I chose to turn of ALL Auto Provisioning options.
My 110 will not work with the FDX option. Power light just blicks with no Ethernet activity at all.

Indeed. To follow up on my previous post, after two days without issue the Obi110 is again going offline after reboot with the data LED flashing. A factory reset and reconfig (with auto-provisioning disabled this time) hasn't helped. Dumping to a syslog server shows nothing unusual. Wireshark isn't seeing anything from the Obi when it is in this state. Dialog with tech support has stalled at "We looked at the device and it is online..." after swapping out the switch, fiddling with port speed & duplex, etc. The warranty runs in two days, and it doesn't appear likely this will be resolved in that time.
It is, I believe, time to bin the beast and move on. I bought it to use as an FSX/FXO for my Asterisk server. I just dumped AT&T, don't need the FXO anymore and reliable ATAs are a dime a dozen. Too bad, the Obi really is a slick piece of hardware. That isn't much good if the device can't recover from power loss without having to cycle it a dozen times.

...and ObiTalk Provisioning!!!
Remember the dashboard Expert Configuration Menu has the ObiTalk Default checkmarks.
I thought ObiTalk was a totally separate feature, but now I am not so sure what it means.
