An IP address is a long binary number. For ease of reading, it is broken up into four chunks, each eight bits long. Each segment is then converted into a decimal number. The four segments are separated by dots. So, an IP address looks like this: "212.147.65.3."

Each browser type has a slightly different path to get to proxy settings. Generally, access the "Tools" menu to find "Options." From here, look for "Network Settings" and find the proxy address in this section. Consult your browser's help system to find the exact location.
