Cannot Change IP Address in Web UI

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,

Is it possible for you to post a screenshot so that we understand the issue and help you better.

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.

best regards,
