    Hi Ronnie,
   You have to put
   area 0 authentication message-digest in R1.
   
   
   following points are important when authenticating ospf :
   
   Point 1:
   
   If backbone are is to be authenticated all links in area should be
   authenticated. Plus virtual link also has to be authenticated if any
   
   Point2:
   
   For configuring virtual link for authentication, put " area 0
   authentication " command at both routers where virtual link is
   defined.
   
   Hope this help.
   
   Rajeevan

   I put authentication on as described below, and no luck. I took all
   authentication off all associated routers, still no luck.

     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
