It is always best practice to use area 0 if it is the only area. If you have more than one area configured either one of them *must* be area 0 or there must be a virtual link to area 0. See the following for your particular error:

I don't run OSPF where I work, but I'd like to keep my chops up to date =) In OSPF, you need to have an Area 0. If there are 2 routers only in your network, and only one area, it needs to be Area 0. If there is only 1 Area in your network, there is no need for it to be anything other than Area 0. Since every Area must touch Area 0, it seems to me there is something in the IOS that looks for at least one interface to be in Area 0 or at least in a virtual link to Area 0. Change your areas on your routers to Area 0 and see if you have the same problem.... (OSPF gurus, please correct me as, again, I'm just taking a stab and would like to keep my OSPF up to date) (Now that I'm thinking about it, you could have a router that is totally within a certain Area that's not an ASBR or ABR, so not it's possible to there could be an interfaces not in Area 0... so at this point, my whole post is moot..... too many rum and cokes =) OSPF gurus, please advise =) Thanks!
