So, did you use localhost? Or did you use a 'real' loopback adapter? You may have had a DHCP lease, which expired and have gotten a local address (but I must confess: I'm guessing here...)
If you do a re-install and test the same situation, perform an ipconfig /all before you install, after install ad after the service died and compare the output.
I still suggest you use amn installed loopback adapter, Oracle suggests that in the installation guides. The installer will pick up your network card ip if you don't. Sure you can ping localhost, it's always there.... Received on Fri Dec 28 2007 - 17:42:06 CST
