Try this:

\renewcommand\theenumii{\theenumi.\arabic{enumii}.}
\renewcommand\labelenumii{\theenumii}

As a general rule, for this fairly straight-forward type of modification, a
quick look at the files latex.ltx or, as in this case, artcle.cls reveals
the objects in use and their definitions.  Once you know how a particular
command is defined, it's not difficult to figure out how to hack it
