no ospf hello packets with virtual link in packet tracer

GreatSubnetter
Level 1
Level 1

hi im trying to make a virtual link in packet tracer, the virtual link is between 2 ABRs that are connected through several routers in the same transit area.

the error i came into is that one of the ABR routers doesnt send ospf hello packets at all, which is why then the virtual link connection isn't completed
would love help in the matter if someone can try and help.

thank you to everyone in advance

Please zip and share your pkt file. Also, let us know from which router to which router you're trying the virtual link to check. 

sorry false alarm i copied it to another project and it worked for some reason
either way thanks for the help

Glad it worked!

@GreatSubnetter 

Double check you interfaces and respective areas. I See you are using area 0,1 and 2 but It is not clear who should talk with who.
