1) This is already done, only press TAB, not dot. If you cause the users to hit dot, they'll hate it. This is not the best option. See below to a better one.

2) IP address is too easy to play with four text boxes. Use System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox which looks like it was specially designed to edit IP addresses!

Handle the key down event.
Every time a . is pressed, tab to the next through code.

This can be done using the SendKeys method.
