When I'm setting up IP addresses on windows Kit, I would give my right arm
to have just a plain ol' text field.

Or one that when you pasted simply ignored embedded dots other than to
align the data on fields.

The other complexity of IPs is there are 1 to 3 digits in each field.
The user then either sometimes or always must hit tab to the next
field. Either way it is irritating.

It might just be simplest to have one big field, allowing dots in it,
or even without dots, where you might reformulate the int as a dotted
quad.

Think also about IPV6 IP addresses. See
