[Bug 1800103] Re: Static IP address validation bug

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

We should probably think about how better to allow entry of ip
addresses. This isn't a but per se -- but it's certainly confusing.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 LTS

  There appears to be a validation bug when entering a static IP address
  during the installation of Ubuntu Server. This bug presents itself
  when there is no DHCP server present on the network.

  See the attached screenshot. The mentioned IP address is contained in
  the subnet, although the validation error appears. None of the
  combinations I tried seemed to function, so this might be a regression
  error.

  Please conduct some test scenarios to this section of the installer.

  These errors prevent the installation to continue.
