Try changing the caching settings in the preferences dialog.

Changed state: Accepted

Even if the cache preference is set to 0, you still need to close the tab and 
reopen to get the correct ip. Simply reloading the tab won't work, although the 
ip is already changed.

ShowIp should always display the same ip address that firefox is actually 
visiting. DNS Flunsher addon seems to do this fine but it lacks all the good 
features ShowIp has. Hope this problem will be fixed soon and thank you for 
developing such a handy addon:D

1.1rc5 should fix this behavior by prefering the IP last used in a request.
