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.com
The 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?

You might try changing the OBi Ethernet port from 10 mb/s half-duplex to 100 mb/s full duplex to see if that helps:
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
Hi Ron -
You probably missed where I mentioned I tried that. :) It didn't change anything.

Yes, I did, sorry.
