Hi,
You can set a property to handle a text from your edit box, like IPADDRESS, then create a custom action to validate this property. It may be C code or VB script which should validate this string (e.g. to compare ASCII code of characteristics). This validation custom action will set a VALIDATE property as "Yes", if this string was entered correctly, or "No" otherwise. After this you can use the VALIDATE property as a condition on the Next button, or whatever you want.

You may find the masked edit control useful here.
A mask such as "<###.###.###.###>" might be ok for an IP Addresss.
You still need a CA to verify that the IP Address is valid. You may also need routines to convert the address between canonical forms.
