192.168.11.9 is the address of the R2 interface pointing at R3. They are all serial interfaces. All of the Lo addresses (RIDs) are advertised in ospf. I swear I don't know what happened. I just this minute reinstituted the configuration that failed me all afternoon. It just spat out the error message above about ten times in a minute and stopped. Now everything seems to work fine. I have routes where they should be. I know I rebooted all of the routers twice this afternoon to try to make sure that it wasn't a hiccup. I even reconfigured a 4000M to replace the mc3810 at R2 - no avail. When you said to check the "show" outputs, I thought I'd go check it one more time to see if there was anything I hadn't noticed earlier and everything worked. Frustrating sometimes. At least it's not MS.
Thanks for writing. Sometimes I think the boxes just need more attention than my cussin' at 'em. You gave it. Leaves me feeling like a right eejit, but it's working now. That's what's required.
