   it seems u r doing authentication in area 0. so you need to configure
   authentication for the virtual link as well.
   
   example, you may configure following for r1:
    area 0 authentication message-digest
    area 11 virtual-link 193.255.255.17 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco
   
   for r2:
   area 11 virtual-link 55.255.255.17 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco

   I have the following topology:
   
     area 1 area 2 area 3
                ROUTER 1
                      area 11
                ROUTER 2 - - - - area 0- - - - ROUTER 3
        area 8 area 9
   
   Routes to area 1,2,&3 are not showing up in my route table? I have
   spent
   entirely too much time trying to figure this one out - Please Help!
   
   - The virtual link is up going both ways
   - The area 1,2,3,8,&9 are loopback interfaces
   - There is a neighbor adjacency between R1 and R2
   - The network type on R1 and R2 is PtoP and I changed it to broadcast
   w/
   R2
   DR, still no luck.
   
   Here's the relevant config from R1:
   
   router ospf 18
    area 11 virtual-link 193.255.255.17
    network 11.255.255.16 0.0.0.15 area 11
    network 55.255.255.4 0.0.0.3 area 1
    network 55.255.255.8 0.0.0.7 area 2
    network 55.255.255.16 0.0.0.15 area 3
   
   Here's R2:
   
   router ospf 17
    redistribute eigrp 1 metric 100 subnets
    network 10.255.255.16 0.0.0.15 area 0
    network 11.255.255.16 0.0.0.15 area 11
    network 193.255.255.16 0.0.0.15 area 8
    network 193.255.255.8 0.0.0.7 area 9
    area 0 authentication message-digest
    area 11 virtual-link 55.255.255.17
