I resolved this problem by doing the following instruction from Support: (This is on Windoz BTW)

To install Oracle Database or Oracle Database 10g Companion Products on a server configured with DHCP, or if you want to perform an off-network installation and connect to the network afterwards, then you must appropriately configure the Microsoft Loopback adapter as the primary network interface before installation.

Follow this procedure:

Install/enable Microsoft Loopback adapter on the DHCP computer.

Assign the adapter a non-routable IP. The following values are recommended: 192.168.x.x (where x is any value) and 10.10.10.10. Then assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Modify System32\drivers\etc\hosts. (instruction in the file)

Windows considers Loopback adapters as a type of network adapter. After installing the Loopback adapter, you have at least two network adapters on your computer: your network adapter and the Loopback adapter. You want Windows to use the loopback adapter as the primary adapter. Received on Mon Oct 18 2004 - 10:36:13 CDT
