They always know the address!!!

I saw it on an website that was under construction. I dont have the site in my favs, but if you guys give me some time, im sure i can find it.

it can be claimed because the movie and the show are not the same continuity at all. they arent the same story. the show is roughly based on the movie. the movies writers inteneded there to only be two stargates and thats all. fan speculation on reconciling two seperate continuities is fair game.

it stands to reason that if you have the address to one gate, then to get back to the gate you came from, you would simply dial backwards.
This means if you are versed in the dialing sequence, you can always get home, assuming the DHD is in one piece.
