Glad to hear that someone is rambling in the same swamp as I am :)
Unfortunate for you, of course...



I think this is _not_ a multiple NIC issue, unless Oracle checks the NIC 
somehow in hardware level: I shutted down the other NIC with ifconfig and 
tried the installation again -- same results. 



Something network related it must be, yes?

Okay, so my sqlnet.ora looks like this now:



--<snip>--


NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = mydomain.dom



NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)


agentctl.trace_level=16


dbsnmp.trace_level=16


--</snip>--



Is it okay? I'll try agentctl starting now...

Here's what happened to me:

Let me know how your tests go?



Also let me know if you (or somebody else) can think of what might be 
wrong with my setup.
