Hi Derek,
To add on, ....You can have on one Cisco router decimal format and on other router with dotted format.....being freaky :-)..... It works, provided conversation matches to same OSPF area number. However, In order to avoid any discrepancies, it better to have one type of format throughout the OSPF domain.
If you find it hard on the IP address to decimal conversation. There are many freeware conversation software on the web... However I found this to be easy: http://www.datadosen.se/FeelTheBase/;jsessionid=FEHBGNOECPOK
To answer you question 'area 700' in dotted format is 'area 0.0.2.188'
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Saleem

Perhaps what your mean is dotted decimal format.
in which case 0.0.0.1 and 1 are the same on a Cisco router but 1 is 1.0.0.0
on another vendors config
so if using a Cisco to a Lucent router using area 1 on both might not be the
same but 0.0.0.1 is always the same.
