sqldeveloper can not connect to database

[vendetta18]

I have installed oracle 11g in my opensuse 11.1 KDE 4.2.2. I wanted to use Oracle Sqldeveloper, so I installed it. But when I try to connect with the database it fails and gives error message "The network adapter failed to establish connection". I have changed the /etc/hosts file as
...
#127.0.0.2 linux-esxp.site linux-esxp
my_ip_address linux-esxp.site linux-esxp
...

The connection details I provided in sqldeveloper are:
Connection Name: Test
username: my_local_database_connection _name
Password: connection_password
Role: Default
Connection Type: Basic
Hostname: linux-esxp
Portort_from listner.ora(1521)
sid: database_oracle_sid

Any help will be appreciated....

And yes I can ping any website or ip but not of my own!!

So you cannot ping your DB machine? Is Oracle already listening on that
box? Is that separate from your client box? On the DB box run the
following and post the output:

netstat -anp | grep :1521 #assuming 1521 is your DB port by default

- From your client box:

netcat -zv ipAddressOfDBBox 1521

If you cannot ping the DB box then let's just get basic network
information from both systems:

ip addr sh
ip route sh
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Good luck.

I got it working. But I have confusion now. I found out that I am dynamic IP allocation. So whenever my machine starts I have a new IP address. The document I referred to while installing oracle said

>>>>
Check /etc/hosts - Comment out 127.0.0.2 and put your server's IP
address.
# 127.0.0.2 sles10.novell.com sles10
192.168.0.12 sles10.novell.com sles10
<<<<<<

Now, am I supposed to make changes to /etc/hosts everytime I log in or is there a solution?
