 Hi,

 I have a dynamic IP and therefore it sometimes happens when Pidgin is
 running that the IP address changes.
 I get a correct Publi IP through STUN Server when I start Pidgin (or also
 through UPnP when I enable that service on my router which I normally do
 not).

 However, this IP never is refreshed. Even if I go offline and online
 again.

 I really don't want to always close Pidgin just for refreshing my IP
 address.

 In theory I could also create a script file that sets the correct IP
 address in the configuration file, HOWEVER, in this case I don't know how
 I can get Pidgin to reload its configuration.

 I think that the IP address should be automatically refreshed when going
 offline and online, after some time (after X minutes) and  when I start to
 send a file (which is why I need Pidgin to know the Public IP in the first
 place) and a button to manually refresh it would be nice too.
