    I'll point out all 4 numbers need to be between 1 and 0 and 255. The first number cannot be a 0, and you do not pad the nunbers to 3 disigts as they did. But hey i'm a computer engineer what do I know about IPs?

    Yeah, I was going to go back and elaborate on all that, but you about covered it. :)

    What's really odd, is that they went through the effort to make it have the 4 sections to the number, but then screwed the rest up? It would be really clear, if typing in the IP still meant it was broke (because it would be a sure-fire way to make the browser always come up as broke) ... but to make it work?

    I guess the only thing I can think of, is that it's like people on TV and movies using a '555' phone number ... Maybe the writers of the show are smarter than we think ;)
