Step 1: Type in 'My IP address' into Google Search, and your IP address is displayed at the top of the page below the Search Box. I have 11 numbers separated by dots 123.45.678.911. Some addresses have 10 numbers or less, just depends on your Geographical location(Make a note of this as we will need it for the last step - also copy it as the format displayed ie 102.33.678 etc)
Step 2: Log into your Google Analytics account (http://www.google.com/analytics/)
Step 3: Select Admin (top right of page) and click on your Domain or website
Step 4: In Properties Click on your Website Name
Step 5: Under Name , Select or Click your Website Name
Step 6: You now should be in your Profile page

Great tutorial BlueDot.
I've been setting up IP filters for four of my sites recently. I had originally applied one filter to exclude my IP address at the account level, then included the individual website profiles that I wanted the filter to effect. However, I recently discovered a note within Google Analytics, which recommended creating a second profile for each website, one with filters applied, and one profile without any filters at all. Here is their note:
"We recommend that you maintain one unfiltered profile so that all data is available for your web property. You can configure additional more restrictive profiles as necessary.
To create a new profile, click + New Profile."
So I deleted my over-arching filter from the account, created a second profile for each of my four websites with the description "WebsiteName - Exclude IP", and applied the 'exclude IP' filter to just those profiles, as per Google Analytics recommendation. Now I have two profiles for each website, one profile that tracks everything, and one profile that excludes my IP address from being tracked.
This is recommended by Google Analytics in case there is a problem with the filter, and so you can compare the two profiles for each site.
