Ahhhhh sorry guys, in my bewilderment I forgot to check the forum first.
Thanks Vijay!
There are a few long posts there so I'm going to go and have a read
up.....
To answer your question Joseph, firstly, nope you read correctly the
first time. R5.....which is the hub didn't have any routes, R2 which
needs to go via R5 did have the routes and it could ping addresses in
area 0 which Router 1 is the ABR (the other spoke router to R5), even
though you couldn't from R5.......ermmmm no idea.....
I reverted back to the default of point-to-point links, cleared the
processes and it's all playing nicely.....so far :-)
I won't go into posting all the configs just yet, I shall play a
bit....probably tomorrow now as it's late, it's a Friday and there area
cold beers in the fridge.........

Hi Guys,
Somebody please say they have seen the same thing and know the problem.
I'm doing Lab 5 Volume III of Internetwork Expert if you have reference
material.
R1 has an Ethernet interface connected to area 0
Also a FR multipoint connected to the hub R5.
R2 is the other multipoint spoke interface connected to the multipoint
of R5.
Between R1 - R5 - R2 we're running PPP via virtual-template interfaces
over the FR.
Hope you are still with me.
Now, all the neighbours were okay, R2 and R5 had entries in their OSPF
databases for addresses in area 0 BUT...
R5 didn't put any of the routes into the routing table. R2 Did and could
ping the addresses in area 0
Reset the OSPF processes on all machines, no joy.
After sodding around for a while I checked the solution and it notes to
change the virtual-template interfaces to OSPF interface types to
multipoint.
Okay, did this and everything worked okay, changed it back to the
default point-to-point interfaces on the virtual-templates and NOW it
works okay.
Does anyone know the reason for this? I'm going to have a read up but if
anyone has some useful info then please let me know.
Cheers,
Simon.
