Hi,
I have Oracle Linux 5 Update 10 32 Bit installed on VMWare and i am trying to install Oracle Database 11g R2 on it. Have configured the user "oracle" by following recommended steps. While launchig the installer i am getting the following error:
NS-06101 - IP address of localhost could not be determined
I am not able to identify the problem even after looking at other posts.
I am able to ping localhost as well as the IP 127.0.0.1 from my id oracle.
/etc/hosts file has the required entry as below and the entries are not commented out:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
The result of ifconfig command from root user is as follows:
[root@linux ~]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:45:FB:38

I confirm that i am able to ping localhost and the ip 127.0.0.1 from user id oracle.
What else am i missing out here?
