That would work as well but I don't like redist
connected unless its absoulutly needed. Sure, its a
quick and dirty way to put all interfaces in the
routing process but if you bring up another interface
on that router down the road and forget about the
redist connected things could get ugly depending on
the network layout.

I think the original poster possibly has a issue with
the routers connecting to each other exchanging IGRP
routes. If you can ping the other router over the
directly connected interface and the directly
connected interfaces are in the same IGRP AS# on both
routers then the routes should be exchanged unless you
have passive-interfaces, serial interface config issue
(FR, etc), code issue, etc. Need to know more
information on the configuration he's doing.
