Want validate IPv4 address using C language but getting error in number of dots

Question

here is my code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<ctype.h>
int main()
{
    int alp=0;
    int ch, spaces;
    char str[30];
    int er=0;
    int dot = 3;
    int cl;
    int i, j, k, l;
    int x;
    int y;
    int z;
    int p;
    printf("Enter IPV4 IP address:");//Enter the IP address
    scanf("%s",&str);//For taking input
    char *part;
    char *part1 = strtok(str, ".");
    char *s1 = part1;
    char *part2 = strtok(NULL, ".");
    char *s2 = part2;
    char *part3 = strtok(NULL, ".");
    char *s3 = part3;
    char *part4 = strtok(NULL, ".");
    char *s4 = part4;
    
    if(p < 0 || p > 255)//To check the range of the ip address
    {
       er++; 
        printf("IP Address not in range");
    }
    if (part4[0]=='0')//to check if the 1st position holds zero
    {
        er++;
        printf("\nZero Found. IP address should not containt leading zero");
        
    }
    if(dot != 3)//to check the separaters
    {
        dot--;
        printf("\nValid");
    }
    else
    {
        dot++;
        printf("\nLimit exceeded!! number of dots more than three");
    }
    
    return 0;
}

So the error I'm getting is in //to check the separators part of my code if I enter 192.168.1.1(valid IP) showing error Limit exceed also if I enter IP with more dots showing the same error.

Want help in that part of my code.

First try my code with normal and erratical IP numbers and observe its outputs. Then compare your code with mine and detect your errors.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<ctype.h>

int dotCount(const char* str) {
    int dots = 0;
    while(*str != NULL) {
        if(*str++ == '.') dots++;
    }
    return dots;
}

int main()
{
    char str[30];
    int er=0;
    int dot = 0;
    printf("Enter IPV4 IP address:");//Enter the IP address
    scanf("%s",str);//For taking input
    puts(str);

    // Dot count check
    dot = dotCount(str);
    if(dot == 3)
    {
        printf("\nDot count ok");
    }
    else
    {
        er++;
        printf("\nLimit exceeded!! number of dots more than three: %d\n", dot);
    }

    char *part;
    part = strtok(str, ".");
    while(part != NULL) {
        dot++;
//      printf("part: %s\n", part); // Part debug
        if(strlen(part) > 1 && *part == '0') {
            er++;
            printf("\nZero Found. IP address should not containt leading zero: %s\n", part);
        }
        int range = atoi(part);
        if(range < 0 || range > 255)//To check the range of the ip address
        {
            er++;
            puts("IP Address not in range\n");
        }
        part = strtok(NULL, ".");
    }

    if(er > 0) {
        printf("%d errors found\n",er);
    }
    else {
        puts("No errors foundi IP adress is ok\n");
    }

    return 0;
}
