Circuit TCP-0-0, Adjacent node address out of range Packet beginning = 0101800640020200002C0100FC010200 Both have maximum area set to 63, maximum node set to 1023, and both are routing IV. What could I be missing? The packet beginning shows node type = Level 1 router. So the area number is supposed to match, and it doesn't. Isn't ROUTING IV level 2 router? EXEC TYPE is defined as that...or it should be anyway. Oh. Misread the HELP page. I wanted AREA not ROUTING. paul -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments
