Installing oracle- Network Configuration

Question

Hi all,
I am installing oracle 11g on oracle enterprise linux.
Everything is fine except Network Configuration. When i run OUI it gives following message:
Checking Network Configuration requirements ...
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Not executed <<<<
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned public IP addresses. However, the primary network interface on the system should be configured with a static IP address in order for the Oracle Software to function properly. See the Installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP.
========================================================
please help me with this.
Regards,
Shane

Answer 1

1) If the install is for learning, just ignore the warning.
2) If you want this VM client to communicate with other VM clients on the
same VMware server, change the VMware NIC to host-only and then use the
Linux system-config-network tool, edit the ethX definition to use your
chosen IP address; a manually-assigned IP address is static, thus
avoiding the warning.
3) If you want machines other than your laptop to be able to communicate with
your RDBMS, you need to do step #2 but change the VMware NIC emulation to a
bridged device.
Hope this gives you the right places to start looking.
