Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 install won't accept IP address

which release of Solaris 10 were you using? And what's the machine model?

Using update 4 of Solaris 10, I can enter "123.123.123.123" with no problem. I too would like to know which version of Solaris has a problem.

Code:
─ IP Address for e1000g0 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  Enter the Internet Protocol (IP) address for this network interface.  It
  must be unique and follow your site's address conventions, or a
  system/network failure could result.

  IP addresses contain four sets of numbers separated by periods (for example
  129.200.9.1).


    IP address for e1000g0 123.123.123.123


  > Press F2 to go to the next screen.


Edit: Also which interface? As you can see, I am using the serial port interface, not the x-based gui interface.

is it possible that this behavior is controlled by the sysidcfg file? maybe setting in netmask or something else?
