Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? No
Have I searched the tickets before posting? No
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? No
Joomla! version: 2.5.11
PHP version: PHP Version 5.2.42-servage28
MySQL version: MySQL v.5
Host: shared: Servage.net
Admin Tools version: Just updated to latest one 2 days ago. 2.5.6

Description of my issue:
Warning: inet_pton() [function.inet-pton]: Unrecognized address 112.101.1 in /mounted-storage/home31c/sub001/sc27242-PZBN/pgagolfart.com/administrator/components/com_admintools/helpers/ip.php on line 390

Attached is screen shot of broken template for Admin Tools component. There are two busy icons and the bottom half of the page keeps flickering off and on like recycling. The template works for the backend of Joomla for other pages.

Other thing that I noticed is that when I try to create a new article, it refreshes the screen and just shows the same list view of all articles.

Install Admin Tools Professional on your site, twice, without removing the existing copy of it. Then rename the folder plugins/system/admintools to admintools.bak. Log in to your site's back-end and go to Components, Admin Tools. You will need to go into three pages: IP black list, IP white list and WAF Configuration. Look for the IP lists in the former two pages and the IP fields in the latter one. In one of the lists/fields you will see this:
112.101.1

This is a malformed IP address! IPv4 addresses either have FOUR (not three) numbers separated by dots or, if you want to have an open segment, the IP must be terminated with a dot, like this:
112.101.1.

See the extra dot at the end? It is mandatory. This information has been always printed above the IP white and black list IP field in the respective pages.

After the changes remember to renamed admintools.bak back to admintools

Since Admin Tools 2.5.6 we introduced IPv6 support. A corollary of this is that the IP checks are more strict. If the IP address you enter is in a format we don't recognise (and since we recognise all possible IP formats this means that it's malformed and invalid) it's possible that an error will occur.
