Oh, sorry - that is confusing. 'localhost' is the SMTP server I'm
connecting to. It could be 'smtp-server.nc.rr.com' or 'smtp.hotmail.com' or
whatever works for your particular network configuration. Lots of SMTP
servers are setup where they won't accept your mail unless you're either
coming through their network or you're sending it to someone in their
domain.
The '64...' IP # is me. It's telling the server you're connecting to who
you are. You can also put a full domainname in there, too.
