   I've installed Oracle 10g on my development Windows XP Professional laptop,   
   which has both Ethernet and Wireless networking using DHCP on both. In the   
   process of installing and creating a sample database, it brings up 3 or 4   
   dialogs about not being able to find the IP address of the machine, to which   
   I click the button to use the default value.   
      
   In the end, it creates listeners and databases that hard-code the IP address   
   of my machine, which is a temporary address assigned by DHCP. This,   
   naturally, is useless to me.   
      
   Does anyone know how I can get it to use the machine or DNS name of my   
   laptop?
