On VM, Create Cluster Wizard only allows 2 characters per IP octet

Question

Hello all,

I'm attempting to recreate a failover cluster. On the step where I'm asked to provide a name and IP address for the cluster's access point I'm able to type in a hostname and the correct network is showing up below but when I try to type in the desired address for the cluster it will only allow me to type two characters in each field, e.g. xx.xx.xx.xx rather than xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

This is on a VM running on ESXI 8. I'm able to duplicate the issue on other virtual servers where it works properly on a physical server. I was able to create the cluster normally on the VM yesterday. I'm fully aware that it likely has something to do with the hypervisor and I've already asked about it in VMWare's community as well, but I would appreciate any insights anyone here has as this is delaying completion of this project. Thank you!

No Answer but I can confirm your problem. Only 2 digits per octet is allowed. If you BS ... your totally screwed as well.
