IP string trouble

let's say I have the string 0.0.0.0 on text1.text I know how to make it so that text2.text displays 0.0. using this line.

iprange = Left(Text1.text, InStr(Text1.text, ".") + 2)
Text2.text = iprange

what i want to know is, if the IP address 255.255.255.255 goes on text1.text with my code, i only get this on text2.text; 255.25

how can I always get this format: X.X. everytime without cutting it down due to the change of numbers of character

Plenty of ways to do this. One way to do this is note that instr has a parameter to specify starting point, so you could call instr to find the first period, then call it again with the position of the first period + 1 as the starting point. This will find the position of the second period and then you can extract the string.
Code:
    Dim foo As String
    Dim iprange As String
    foo = Text1.text
    iprange = Left(foo, InStr(InStr(foo, ".") + 1, foo, ".") - 1)
    MsgBox iprange


Another way is to use the split function to split the string into an array, using "." as the separator character. After that, it's just a matter of combining the first two array elements.
Code:
    Dim foo As String
    Dim iprange As String
    Dim parts() As String
    foo = Text1.text
    parts = Split(foo, ".")
    iprange = parts(0) & "." & parts(1)
    MsgBox iprange

Hope this helps
