ospf network type & FR

Hi,

can someone explain following behaviour:

R2 is Hub
R4, R5 are spokes
only physical ports allowed
Hub ospf network type is PTMP

If I use OSPF network PTP on spokes I can NOT ping other spokes. (CASE 1)

If I use OSPF network PTMP on spokes I CAN ping other spokes. (CASE 2)

Is this expected behaviour? I wouldn't expect the 'ip ospf network' command to have influence on icmp connectivity.

CASE1:
------
R4(config-router)#
router ospf 1

I have rebooted several times.
SW is 12.4(3a) on all routers.
R2 is 3825, R4 and R5 are 2811

cheers,
