I'm trying to ping from router "DC_GE" to Router "BE":
The packet tracer file is linked. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!
Best regards

Hello,
make sure that on the GE and the BE routers, you have:
network 10.0.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
configured...

Hello,
there was a lot missing in your configuration, such as some routers not running OSPF at all, a missing default route on the ISP router, and missing network statements on the routers that actually do have OSPF running. On the BE router, you need a static default route towards the ISP, and under the OSPF process, you need 'default-information originate' in order for that default route to get propagated to all the other OSPF routers.
Have a loo at the revised file, where end to end connectivity has been established....
