Obi110 & 2Wire HGV 3801 - Will Obi110 work on a subnet?
Shale:
Bridge mode is something you would do to a modem or a router. You can't really do that with the 3801.
You might consider changing Settings > Lan > DHCP to

Configure manually
Router Address 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
First DHCP Address 192.168.1.65
Last DHCP Address 192.168.1.253
That will ensure there is not a conflict with the DHCP range and the static address that you chose. I understand that it does not appear to be a reason to think that this is causing the problem, but I am not sure. It seems worth a try, and easier than changing the static address for the OBi.

I'm not very familiar with the 2wire devices so I won't comment on that. I can say that you shouldn't have a problem with an Obi on a subnet. I have done that. I have also put my PAP2na on a subnet. I did not need to set up port forwarding of any kind. You will want a stun server set up if you use sip. Having said that I prefer to keep VOIP devices on the main subnet for reliability.
AFAIK.. Bridge mode only applies to the OBi202 or OBI302 which have built in routing capability.
Shale is right about using a static address outside of your DHCP range. That might not be your problem right now but it will eventually get you.
One thing I am curious about. You were talking about putting the OBi on it's own subnet. I don't think that will work unless it's behind a router on the other subnet.

Hi Shale and Giqcass,
Thanks for your replies! I have some updates as I've tried the configs you suggested.
I went in and tried two static ip changes. The first time, I changed the Obi110 to a static IP assignment outside the DHCP range of the 2Wire. After submitting changes, the 2Wire still recognizes it as a router behind a router, but in a non-DHCP managed IP assignment. That message came up again when I attempted to change the DHCP IP range on the 2Wire (it still recognized the static IP of the Obi and said no way hosay).
Next, I tried putting the Obi110 on a subnet address (192.168.2.1) and it went dark. Could not access it from ObiTalk, the 2Wire, or a direct ethernet connection (crossover or regular). I performed the factory reset instructions on the Obihai site, got it back up and running, tested calls, and all is well.
In summary:
- The Obi110 did not like being put on a subnet. I had to factory reset/reconfigure to get it to work.
- The static IP option outside the DHCP range did not work either. The 2Wire still recognized it as a router behind a router.
Any other ideas? :( I think I may just have to put it in a DMZ zone to make it play nice with the 2Wire.
Btw, thanks for all your help so far.

Shale:
I don't know what the problem is. My OBi202 works fine behind my 3801 with no DMZ etc.
carl:
I have 2W 3600 and Obi (202 or 100) only works if in DMZ. For the same reason i cannot use any soft phones.
