If I turn on the torbutton in firefox (and check the proxy settings) and then go to http://check.torproject.org it gives me a nice big "Congratulations" because I'm using tor and then it shows the IP...but it is exactly MY IP.  It isn't covered at all by tor.  So why would this page declare that I'm using tor and then provide me with my actual IP address as evidence?

This is now corrected.  I found a flaw in my privoxy config file related to the socks4a setting.  Tor works as expected now.
