Cannot Save IP Address If You Use a Period for the Digit Grouping Symbol Setting (301372)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Commerce Server 2000 SP1
Microsoft Commerce Server 2002

This article was previously published under Q301372

SYMPTOMS

If you change the Digit grouping symbol on the Numbers tab in Regional Options to a period (or dot), the IP address of the Web server appears without a dot in the Commerce Server Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and cannot be saved.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the parsing routine recognizes the IP address as a number, and so it applies the Digit grouping symbol setting from Regional Options.
