Stoneskin?

I know it's in the rules. I know I've read it and now I can't find it...

Does Stoneskin or similar DR allow you to hit other creatures as a monster with DR can?

My recollection is "no" but I can't find the confirming passage. Help please.

Or, like in the party I am currently playing with, the Wizard who has Greater Magic Weapon in her spellbook, and memorizes it every day.

where? don't know. But stoneskin does not allow you to hit creatures with less/same DR than you (unless of course you have that magic weapon)

A similiar DR (like two werewolves going at it) does count.

Well met!

From the SRD:
For purposes of harming other creatures with damage reduction, a creature's natural weapons count as weapons of the type that can ignore its own innate damage reduction. The amount of damage reduction is irrelevant.

I would say that having DR due to a spell like Stoneskin does not count as innate. So your 5th level monk with stoneskin can't wound a werewolf with his fists.
