Just FYI, the proxy check at xenobite sometimes will not identify Tor
nodes properly. There's a bit of lag between nodes going up and down,
and them propagating through the node list.

If you're sure it's your IP...
Right click on the TorButton icon in FireFox and in it's preferences
make sure you have "Use recommended settings" and "Use Privoxy"
checked. Go through all the other stuff and make sure it's set to
defaults also.
If that fails, eliminate Privoxy from the loop and try again.
