242.0. "Invalid IP Address under Sworks 2.2" by NETRIX::"leyc@mail.dec.com" (chris ley) Mon Apr 07 1997 18:35

I have now been trying for many works to get Serverworks 2.2 to work
succcessfully
I have installed NT agents on NT 4.0 servers...No problem.
I have installed Manageworks/Sworks on both NT 3.51 and NT 4.0 
workstations. IP Autodiscovery. This works fine but click on server icon
and I get "Invalid IP Address".
If I set up my own viewer and manually insert Server....
Works OK. I can click on server and view all components.

If I attempt to change IP address for either Autodiscovered or manually
inserted server I get an error message as soon as I try to enter a ".".
I get error "You must enter a valid IP address". It does not matter what
character I attempt to type....It fails.......

Is there a mega bug with this product????

Does anyone out there know what is wrong?????

242.1Invalid IP addressNETRIX::"Peter.Bats@vbo.mts.dec.com"Pjotrr BatzzTue Apr 08 1997 09:2719
I get this when the system I'm viewing has a name like:
1bat.vbo.dec.com
2bats.vbo.dec.com
3bats.vbo.dec.com

Might be that there's some checking inside SW that regards these names as
invalid ones. (I remember reading once that DNS names starting with a number
are not valid. I believe that this was actually even the PW TCP/IP stack
which had this as well. Might be a left over)

Remedie, take out the check I would say.

Ah, and how to get around it?
Select the object, goto properties and change the general name into the IP
address. Worked for me.
