    Angela,

    If you look at section 10.6 in RFC 2328 you'll see that the OSPF
    router with the lower MTU will reject the DB exchange packet. Hence,
    you'll never get out of Exchange-start state.

    Within the last 6 months, there was a long thread on this subject on
    the list. However, at present, I can't get to the archives.

    You can try http://discuss.microsoft.com/archives/ospf.html later.
