 Pidgin is used in LAN, server is on the same subnet (192.168.9.x), however
 Pidgin auto detect seems to radomly detect and use all installed network
 adapters addresses, including invalid ones like 169.254.65.* and 0.0.0.0.
 Worst, manual IP setting does not seem to make any difference.
 This bad detection causes XMPP file transfer to often fail, transfer
 slowly starts or receving side crashes, even with configured IP and a file
 proxy. Here is the file transfer request generated by pidgin:

 <iq from='jonathan at server-pc/924824306131037034820002' to='niki at server-

        <streamhost jid='proxy.server-pc' host='192.168.9.128'
 port='7777'/>
    </query>
 </iq>

 The server and file proxy is 192.168.9.128, actual sender IP is
 192.168.9.58, the hardcoded IP in prefs is 127.0.0.1. Receiving Pidgin
 will try all IPs in a row, time out on every, or just crash.

 Why the hardcoded IP is not used first, and then the file proxy?
