Can't set IP's on switches & ARNS

[ReK410]

I've got a baystack 350T-HD switch, a 450T-24 switch and several Baystack ARN's. My problem is that I've reset them all to default values - so all IP's are showing as 0.0.0.0 - I do not use bootp so I want to manually set the IP/subnet/gateway info on the devices. When I try on any of the devices I get "INVALID IP ADDRESS" no matter what addresses I enter. This happens for all 3 fields (IP/sub/gateway).
I'm using a WinXP PC connecting via serial cable.

Please advise! thanks!

What are you entering for the values of each?

W00t! I found the answer - well, a work-around at least. The problem appears to be with WinXP's hyperTerminal program. I downloaded a 3rd party terminal program (Absolute Software's Absolute CRT) and it worked with no problems on all my devices.

Hmm...oddly I've had no problem with WinXP Pro and either telnet or hyperterm...
