The ping problem is not related to the routing or OSPF protocol. Trying to ping remote IP over FR with no frame map statement will cause of encapsulation failure. The router doesn't know how to encapsulate the IP packet in DLCI number.
Since you can not use frame map statement, the only option is to use frame-relay interface-dlci xxx command. This tells the router to encap. all packets in DLCI xxx. But this doesn't work on the physical interface!! You have to change the spoke FR interface to subinterface multipoint or point-2-point (the second will involved IP redesign, separate net. for each FR link to the HUB router).

[7:43795] Hello, I have RTA configed as a FR hub with multipoint subif. I have RTB, RTC and RTE configed as spokes using only the serial intf. - FR network type Non-Broadcast. Have 1 single FR map statement on the spokes pointing to the hub. Have 3 map statements on the hub pointing back to each of the 3 spokes. Have Ospf configed. Area 0 the FR network for the serials. Area 1 on RTA, Area 10 on RTB and Area 4 on RTE each for the Ethernet side. Also have the neighbor statement on each spoke pointing to the hub with a priority of 2. A show ip route reveals all the OSPF networks (O IA routes) on each router. I can only ping from the hub router RTA to networks on the spoke routers BUT I cannot ping from one spoke router to a network on another spoke router EVEN though the routes are in the routing table? Why is that? A CATCH: I am not allowed to use the ip ospf network command anywhere nor FR map statements on each spoke pointing to the other spokes?? What is the way that will allow me to ping from RTB to RTC thru RTA the hub router? I tried the default-information originate on the hub rtr. RTA but this does not seem to help - even though it installs a default route on each spoke router. I am giving up after tiring me eyes on CCO. Anyone with any ideas?
