Hi, My reccomendation is to install TorButton addon for Firefox: http://zargon.hobbesnet.org/~squires/torbutton/
You can also install Live IP addreess (notification bar for Firefox): https://addons.mozilla.org/addon.php?id=1731 LiveIP har refresh time between 17 to 1422 minutes (see options), but you can go to Tools - Live IP Address - Force Update Now (in Firefox menu). You can check if Tor is working: http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ipaddr.pl?tor=1 it is also recommended to read at least something about DNS leaks problem on http://tor.eff.org. bye, Matej
