I cannot enter 192.43.244.18 as Remote IP or any other IP with more than 12 chars. I can only enter 192.43.244.1 (12 chars). Why?

192.43.244.18 is time.nist.gov, I use it to adjust clock (http://tf.nist.gov/service/its.htm).

it's because your font is too big and what you're typing won't fit in the tiny space available. to see what I mean try typing a lot of full stops and you'll be able to fit in a lot more. I just encountered the same problem and I use a DPI setting of 150% (makes everything bigger so I don't have to squint)

I couldn't get ICS to work either so I'm going to install comodo firewall instead.

You could just adjust the DPI setting and alter the IP address, as a workaround. It is annoying though. :)
