Yesterday I tried to transfer some IOTA from Bitfinex to my IOTA wallet (2.4.0).  The transaction showed "confirmed" in my wallet but with an amount of zero.  I attached to tangle again and same thing happened.  I then changed to a different node (http://iota.bitfinex.com:80).  Again I attached to tangle and it still shows "pending" 12 hours later.

Should I keep attaching new addresses to the tangle, keep changing nodes, or both.... ?

Any advice would be appreciated

If the tx is "completed" in bitfinex side, and you are seeing it "Pending" in your wallet, you have to reattach, no need to create new addresses, I understand that you already gave them an address you own. Reattach tx, normally is super fast fro me from Finex.

Okay well I've since tried 3 more to reattachments and it seems to automatically generate a new address each time I do this.  How is one able to reattach without generating a new address?

Also, since I gave bitfinex a specific address to send my IOTA, it seems logical that generating new addresses and reattaching would not work.  Does the tangle system know how to find my IOTA at another address when I generate a new address and reattach?

Reattaching a pending transaction does not create a new address. It only re-do the transaction one more time with the same address. It comes out as a duplicated transaction in your history with the same address.
