host IP address cogfiguration problem when installing portal server

My teammate is installing Application Platform Suite on Solaris 10 and met the problem in "Specify Common Server Settings" step.

====================================================

an error message popped up as following:

Valid Host IP address Required.

The Host IP address Provided could not be validated.

The services being installed require a valid Host IP address.

Installation cannot proceed until a valid Host IP address is provided.

=====================================================

Where is the default Host IP Address from?

How can the installation program read the Host IP Address from the system, and says it's invalid?

If it's invalid, how can I validate the Host IP Address without the installation program?

He tried to ping this host IP address, and it's alive.

Can you share with me your /etc/hosts file?

What happens if you pin your FQDN, what is the result?

What happens if you pin your IP Address, what is the result?

What has beenspecified for the "hosts" parameter setting in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file?

Is the IP Address your specifying static or served from DHCP? The Java ES software needs a static IP.

Have you got your host name and domain name in the etc/hosts file?
