I am trying to set up a formula where i can enter an IP address and have that
the cell below that shows that IP adress + 1. The problem is the decimal
points in the 1 st ip address. It's causing a value error. Any idea how to
do what i'm attempting?

With no error checking for valid IP addresses:

=LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","*",3),FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE (A1,".","*",3))-1)&
"."&TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",REPT(" ",9)),9))+1

Shortened version:

=LEFT(A1,FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","*",3))-1)&"."&
TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",REPT(" ",9)),9))+1
