CC reports the IP address that Android gives it. I see 3 possibilities for why Android is doing that.

Because you running Android over Chrome, you are probably seeing the issue described here. One possible fix is to manually enter the server's IP address into CC (I have doubts that this will work). Another is the one discussed in this post.
The address 100.115.92.10 is a private IP address assigned to the Shared Address Space. This private space is used by carriers to avoid collisions with the more common private addresses (10., 172.16, and 192.168). The fact that CC is seeing this address implies that:
- You are connecting using a VPN (virtual private network)
- You are connecting via a roaming scheme provided by your ISP that allows you to use other peoples' WiFi.
- WiFi isn't connected at all and you are seeing the cell system IP address.
Another possibility is that you set up a fixed IP address sometime in the past.
