Are you using the latest version >= T13.793? There was a bug with different addresses in older version. Now it is fixed. If you connect to another pool the address should remain unchanged and the balance too.
I found some information in the cheatcoin.log file. Is this version obsolete?
I should have downloaded it on January 4
