Tor can't detect right IP
Hi,
Tor sometimes cannot figure out the right IP address. Below two extracts of the logfile. I don't know when the IP usually changes but the manual of my provider says the IP will change once a day.
Setting:
- In my torrc I don't have set the property "Address". (Didn't use it due to my misconfigured local caching DNS service.)
- OS is Ubuntu 8.04
The IP in line 1 is the correct one. The other IP is an old one which was given from my provider yesterday evening: ---snip--- Jan 01 18:01:05.463 [notice] Guessed our IP address as 84.189.106.167.

Yesterday Tor "detected" also IP changes (which didn't occurr). But yesterday the last detected change was the right one: ---snip--- Dec 31 21:35:31.981 [notice] Guessed our IP address as 84.189.109.75.
