Help with OSPF in RAS to a Cisco Router

I cannot get OSPF in windows RAS talking to my Cisco router.

On the Cisco I have

router ospf 1
log-adjacency-changes
network 10.0.0.0 0.0.7.255 area 1
network 192.168.5.0 0.0.0.255 area 1

on the windows side I have a area defined 172.16.30.0 with ranges
10.0.0.0 255.255.248.0
172.16.30.0 255.255.255.0

Then I created a new interface with that area ID 172.16.30.0

I know I must be missing something. OSPF works fine between the other
Cisco devices but not with the Windows Server.

Hi,

I don't think you're missing anything. It is generally not supported to
have a MS server participating in Cisco OSPF topologies. When you find
yourself needing to do this, it is usually at the avoidance of a better
solution.

What are you trying to accomplish overall that you want the Windows box to
participate in OSPF?
