Problem installing 10g on a laptop with DHCP

[Patrick Dean Rusk]

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?

replace IP address by "localhost" (w/o the quotes)
