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.



Commerce Server 2000
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Commerce Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

297216 INFO: How to Obtain the Latest Commerce Server 2000 Service Pack

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

  Date        Version     Size     File name 13-Jun-2001 4.0.0.2053  213,062  Mscscfg.dll



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not use a period for the Digit grouping symbol setting in Regional Options.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
Certain locale settings may use the period as the default Digit grouping symbol setting. If a number appears as 123.456.789,00 with the selected locale, you should install this fix or apply the workaround.
