Wildcard masks, a question when using with OSPF and EIGRP

Question, I am trying to run OSPF in my lab, 5 routers. I looks like so.

RA

FA0/0 - 10.1.1.1/24 - Connect to RB FA0/0
FA0/1 - 192.168.1.1/24

RA OSPF Config

router ospf 100
net 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0

RB
FA0/0 10.1.1.2/24 - Connects to RA FA0/0
S0 - 10.1.2.1/24 - Connects to RC S1 - DCE side
S1 - 10.1.3.1/24 - Connects to RE S1 - DCE side

RB OSPF Config

router ospf 100
net 10.1.2.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
net 10.1.3.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
net 10.1.1.2 0.0.0.0 area 0

RC
S0 10.1.3.1/24 - Connects to RD S1 DCE side
S1 10.1.2.1/24 - Connects to RB s0 DTE Side

RC OSPF config

router ospf 100
net 10.1.2.2 0.0.0.0 area 0
net 10.1.4.1 0.0.0.0 area 0

RD
S0 10.1.5.2/24 Connects to RE s0 DTE side
s1 10.1.4.2/24 Connects to RC S0 dte side

RD OSPF config

router ospf 100
net 10.1.4.2 0.0.0.0 area 0
net 10.1.5.2 0.0.0.0 area 0

RE
S0 10.1.5.1/24 - Connects to RD S0 DCE side
s1 10.1.3.2/24 - Connects to RB S1 DTE Side

RE OSPF config

router ospf 100
net 10.1.3.2 0.0.0.0 area 0
net 10.1.5.1 0.0.0.0 area 0

While I using a 0.0.0.0 wilcard mask with OSPF and specifying the real interface IP address, OSPF doesnt build route table and doenst even see OSPF neighbors! I apply a net 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 command on each router and OSPF route fine! I thought you could be so specific on OSPF to the individual interface but I am worng i think it doesnt work.

I can apply this configs using EIGRP and it routes OK. I wonder if this is probelm with simulator. I use Boson CCNA sim with all updates. I have some lab at home but I am very far away on duty.

What am I missing? Please help with as much explanation possible. I am searching the net and cisco site and I am not finding specific info as I am looking for. I looked at the other OSPF wildcard question in the forum, but it doesnt help me and the cisco link in their doesnt help me.

Regards.

hello,
have you try the no auto-summary command on each router?
give it a try.

thats a glitch (one of many) in the Boson software. I have the Boson CCNA sim as well and the same thing happens to me. I have tried it on my home lab and it works fine with that config, minus 2 routers as I only have three, and different IP address (same wildcard masks and area), but that wont make a difference.

I dont see an auto-summarization command in the router OSPF sub-command list with the CCNA sim or on my home lab with 12.29 IOS. See it for RIP and IGRP though.

Thank you. I am to call Boson and question my dissapointement with them. Other simulators ok?

Regards.
