Julien: Thanks for your prompt response. But... Is there a way to use Hadoop without a static IP address with a VM?
Thanks!

You will not only be able to use a static IP, but also keep copies of working systems, make some tests, learn how to setup a cluster with only 1 physical machine. And much more. Julien 2012/8/14 Cristian Carranza <cristiancarranz...@hotmail.com> Hello all in this list! Thank you Harsh J for your help! I decided to post it again in order to properly identify myself in the archive list. My name is Cristián and I am trying to learn Hadoop and to use it in near future... I’ve started to learn Hadoop via Infosphere BigInsights (IBI), Basic Edition, from IBM. But I am facing problems now that make me wonder if there are alternative ways to learn Hadoop. The biggest problem is that IBI demands a static IP address, and this is a tough requirement for me, since I travel a lot for business and always use IP address assigned via DHCP.. Is there a way to use Hadoop without a static IP address? More general question: What are the system requirements for installation of Hadoop? Thank you in advance! Cristián Carranzal.
