http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/index.html This explains where the config file should be and what it is called. I don't mean to shrug off your question but you are honestly better off reading the official manual for this. I will only explain it more poorly. Have a look at the documentation in the conf file and on the website about SkipHosts. You should not need to enter the full IP of the server because it will only access itself through localhost. To ignore all hits from your ISP you may need to ignore everyone going through your ISP which may or may not be a good idea. If you are on a major ISP then your reporting may become skewed.
