VPN Service, Unable to "assign addresses" - "Formatting Error"

Question

I'm experiencing a weird / almost X-File problem!

I've setup a MacOSX 10.7 Lion server, with more success than pain, nice work apple guys.

Well, now i'm stuck trying to make VPN work.

Whatever i write at Server.app in the "Assign addresses between" XXX "and" "YYY" it tell me that:

"Formatting Error", Please provide a valid value.

I've write down numbers, no more than 3 digits, but as soon as i leave the first field this message pops-up!

I've try to fill the second field first, but the same happens.

I've double checked that this numbers (IP's) where not in use, not by DHPC neither by static configured machines, no way.

I'm driving crazy; i've setup a really complex server and now i'm stuck in a f**** field! (field field!)

someone else out there is having the same problem?

someone has configured the VPN address range without trouble?

thanks and regards from this sunny spain!

well, big answers for big questions... maybe we were a liitle bit offuscated =) today the sun shines =)

there, we have to write down the whole ip, start-ip and end-ip

for example, the range isn't 50-100, the proper range should be 192.168.0.50-192.168.0.100

the field blocks news characters from the third, TILL you enter a dot!!! That confused us.
