Cannot Change IP Address in Web UI

DJPROCOPIO — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:00:49 GMT

When attempting to the change the IP address of my OnCommand Balance 4.1.0.2 machine from the Web UI, I get the error message:

The character ' . ' is not allowed

The machine already has a static IP. I can change the entire address or simply change a number in the existing address. Either way, when I click update, I get the above message.

Any ideas?

Hi Dennis,

I have seen occasions when the Hostname on the Admin--> Configuration tab in the GUI has a .com (Eg. balance.com or mycomp.net

Make sure there is no .* in the Hostname field and it is just one word like "balance". It may be complaining of the extension at the end and not your actual IP address.
