METHOD=GETHOSTNAME HOSTNAME=bridgB2).
This sort of explains it by itself. Among other methods, tor uses
`gethostname()` to guess the IP address. In your case, your computer's
hostname apparently is `bridgB2`, with the IP address `198.105.254.68`.
This would be a configuration problem on your system (I would suspect
something along the lines of a invalid `/etc/hosts` entry or perhaps a
incorrect DNS config.
The `Address` directive in `torrc` exists to work around situations where
"having a hostname that reflects reality, with an IP address that is
public" is not possible.
Please double check your system's configuration.
