1) There is a user verified option check it and click next.
or
2) Disable the DHCP option and provide the IP Address manually, your problem will be resolved

check the IP Address provided by DHCP (you can check it by using ipconfig command) and type it in the hosts file available in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc folder

127.0.0.1       localhost            <--- this is the loopback address do not remove it
10.0.0.62       its.oracle.com   its     <---add an other line, type your ip address and computer name with
                                                              domain and then its alias

save this file and start installation again

(i've attached my windows hosts file for your guidance)

  • hosts
    • 770 bytes

    sample hosts file

There is an error in the Oracle Universal Installer.
It can not detect for sure if the computer is with static IP
or not. I always check that computer has static IP and after that even I get
this error message I ignore it.

hi sonicefu, for this entry  10.0.0.62  its.oracle.com its    

for the ipconfig adress do i use the LAN address or the wireless ip address. Both will change everytime i connect right? will this have any impact ro will ia hve to change it everytime?

 

by: sonicefuPosted on 2008-09-09 at 09:49:47ID: 22429448

use LAN IP address, you dont need to change it everytime.

 

by: sdstuberPosted on 2008-09-11 at 20:58:33ID: 22457060

If your dhcp assigned address expires (most do eventually) you'll have to update your hosts file.

I suggest you disable your wireless while you are installing Oracle.  Then re-enable it after you are done with your install and setup.

I'm running 11g Enterprise on my laptop with wired and wireless, my wireless was disabled at the time of installation.  I do not use the loop back adapter, don't even have it installed.

Now that oracle is up and running, when I do switch to wireless, my database still runs just fine.

I'm running windows xp on my laptop too
