What program gave that log message? That isn't a log message in Tor. Maybe Vidalia? Unless you're paraphrasing? > Obviously it wasn't my ip address, when I looked it up it was from > another country.

I wonder if your /etc/hosts file has a stale address in it, so Tor doesn't try to guess because your computer has already set its IP address (even though it's wrong)? --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
