Iirc, you should set ORACLE_HOSTNAME. But this does not always work as advertised... What does? In that case: edit oraparam.ini, or -if you are installing from CD, copy it over to a writeable location, and then edit.

Find the lines:

#SHOW_HOSTNAME=ALWAYS_SHOW shows the hostname panel always
#SHOW_HOSTNAME=NEVER_SHOW does not the hostname panel
#SHOW_HOSTNAME=CONDITION_SHOW shows the hostname panel on condition

SHOW_HOSTNAME=NEVER_SHOW Change the "NEVER_SHOW" into "ALWAYS_SHOW". Now start the installer - if you had to copy over the oraparam.ini to a writable location, add the -paramFile to the command line when starting runInstaller: runInstaller -paramFile <fully qualified ini file>
