I have this working on 4.1.5
For those with issues with permissions try installing the mod again, that's how I fixed my issue with them.

Same problem here. 188.123.248.62 becomes 127.255.255.255.

1. Default 32
2. 4.1.5 Patch Level 1
3. php: 5.2.14 - mysql: 5.0.67 - no idea if it's 32bit or 64 bit though. where can i see that?

Ok - hopefully a simple answer -

How do I ban a range of IP's - My specific problem is I have hundreds of "guests" trying to access my forum. As it is a closed and private forum I need to be able to ban the IP's
180.76.5.xxx - all bots from China.

I can ban them one at a time and it works greatly as single bans - but way too time comsuming to ad an IP one at a time.

Suggestions?

180.76.5.0 with a cidr of 24 - got it thx

you would be better off with cidr of 16

if you use the whois tool, you can see this:

Basically the block of ips is from 180.76.0.0 to 180.76.255.255 so to block them all you need a cidr of 16

I'm confused. Is there an answer to the 127.255.255.255 issue?

Currently I'm unable to replicate that issue, so I'm waiting for some more debugging information.

The issue is caused by something somewhere not handling integers as unsigned and capping it at the maximum signed value for an integer.

I did that, but not work for me.
My 2 co-admins cannot see Ip Ban Manager and mine yes !
