Currently, I have no Address set in torrc. But Tor is guessing it quite 
well.
In a past test I did set it to what IP router had then, and it didn't help.

As shown by netstat, connections are established on my port 9001 from remote
tor servers...
Also, using the same network configuration (router, dynamic IPs, etc..), 
I tested Tor
on my laptop, and it reported successful reachability for ORPort.

Yes, my router supports dyndns.org, but since Tor guesses it's IP 
correctly,
I prefer not to use dyndns.org yet...
