Cannot initiate a file transfer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What are you doing to produce the error?
1. FileTransferManager manager = new FileTransferManager(connection);
2. final OutgoingFileTransfer transfer = 
manager.createOutgoingFileTransfer(jid);
3. transfer.sendFile(file, "My funny file");
4. Watch the xmpp log and see the originator advertising the streamhost
<streamhost jid="myid@mydomain.com/smack" host="127.0.0.1" port="7777"/>

What is the expected output?
The expected output is to have the transfer succeed

What do you see instead? (Please attach a debug enabled logcat)
<streamhost jid="myid@mydomain.com/smack" host="127.0.0.1" port="7777"/>

What version of aSmack / Android / Device do you use?
asmack-2010.05.07 / 2.2 / Galaxy GT-I9000

What server do you use? Is there a public server to reproduce the problem?
Openfire, latest

What else might help us to reproduce and hunt down the problem?
Actually I have also the solution. As reported, InetAddress.getLocalHost() 
returns "127.0.0.1" which of course is not what we want. I replaced the code 
for  
org.jivesoftware.smackx.filetransfer.Socks5TransferNegotiator.discoverLocalIP() 
as follows

    private String discoverLocalIP() throws UnknownHostException {
        try {
            for (Enumeration<NetworkInterface> en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); en.hasMoreElements();) {
                NetworkInterface intf = en.nextElement();
                for (Enumeration<InetAddress> enumIpAddr = intf.getInetAddresses(); enumIpAddr.hasMoreElements();) {
                    InetAddress inetAddress = enumIpAddr.nextElement();
                    if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress()) {
                        return inetAddress.getHostAddress().toString();
                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (SocketException ex) {
            Logger.error("Error retrieving the local IP", ex);
        }
        throw new UnknownHostException("Failed to retrieve local IP");
        //return InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();
    }

i cannot find the method discoverLocalIP() 
org.jivesoftware.smackx.filetransfer.Socks5TransferNegotiator.discoverLocalIP().
 I dowloaded the source of snack from 
http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/source.jsp

It is about asmack (smack for Android), not the regular desktop smack.

Was working on asmack and faced this same issue,

but it seems that in the current version of asmack, the code responsible for 
fetching the localIP resides in  
org/jivesoftware/smackx/bytestreams/socks5/Socks5Proxy.java

this function needs to be added to Socks5Proxy.java
and properly invoked from inside its Constructor.

(have attached the changed Socks5Proxy.java file)

P.S. somehow I couldn't find a mention of this issue on the github
