I think we found the problem. Now let's see if we can verify it with
the following questions.

1) Does R4 have OSPF routes in its routing table from R6 and vice versa?
2) Are the OSPF network types compatible* between R4 and R6?

* Incompatible OSPF network types are having one that uses the concept
of a DR neighbored with another that that doesn't use this concept.
Although they can become neighbors they aren't truly adjacent.

Sorry for this roundabout answer but sometimes this is the best way to
learn. Even for me ;-)

HTH,

  What are you trying to link to area 0? It looks like area 45 and area
46
are both already connected to area 0.
