You can do some debugging on ip ospf adjacency and such. I have seen
cases like this where there have been duplicate loopback ip's, duplicate
ptp link id's, and such, which cause similar results. The adjacency
debugging should give you more of a reason WHY the adjacency is going down.


Post your results if you find the cause.
