Can't help with oasis2 but with 1.xx you don't specify your IP address
in dial.txt - you do it in startup.nos where you should see something
like this ...

ip addr [158.152.224.11]

... but this only works if you have a static ip address. If yours is
dynamic enter [0.0.0.0] whereupon Nos will obtain it for you although
I'm not certain there isn't something else that needs doing as well.
Someone else will no doubt say if there is.
