Use NAT / Bridge method & then try to change ip ( Make sure before change IP change hostname as well )

For VMWARE questions, you are probably better served posting in a VMWARE forum, IMHO. Know also that Oracle RAC running on VMWARE is not something that Oracle supports in any way - that is pretty clearly spelled out in the Oracle certification matrix Wink

. Oracle RAC running on Oracle VM is supported Wink

. (no - I don't work for Oracle . . . ). The error message you are getting is fairly obviously caused by either a network configuration issue in VMWARE or you have another system on your network with the same IP. Good luck!
