Port Number: 

This should be left set to 80.

Enable DHCP:

With the Enable DHCP box checked, all of the addresses below and the subnet mask are greyed

out because they have already been fixed by the DHCP server.  Unchecking the DHCP box disables DHCP and
makes it possible to set the addresses manually in order to have a static IP address. These changes should only
be made by a qualified network administrator.

description is used in the email.  

SMTP Server:

smtp.gmail.com is filled in as the SMTP server because Google offers this as a free service

and gmail email accounts are free and easy to set up.  It is likely that other SMTP servers could be used,
but they might not be as universally accessible as gmail.
