You open command prompt.
(run>cmd)
Then you type the website you want to go to. Then tracert.
Then you wait till its finished and there will be a bunch of addresses and an ip address next to each one.
You then type the last one into the browser and it will take you there.
This may or may not work.

That's not a proxy, just the server on which the website resides; in this case, myspace.com is just an alias for that IP address (more or less).

A proxy is a way to surf the web anonymously.

Normally, when you go to a webpage, your computer says, "Hey, webserver, I want this webpage; here's the address you should send it to." Which means the webserver can log the fact that you requested the page.

A proxy server sits between you and the webserver. Your computer says to the proxy, "Hey, proxy, I want this webpage; here's my address." The proxy, in turn, says. "Hey, web server, I want this webpage; here's my address." The web server returns the webpage to the proxy, who then passes it along to you. Thus, the webserver thinks the proxy made the request, and never logs the fact that really, you asked for the webpage.
