If you're trying to connect to your laptop from within your home network you use the IP address shown by the WinVNC icon.

To access the laptop remotely from the internet is more complicated and requires port forwarding to be setup on your router and a secure connection via ssh. There are other threads on this forum explaining how to set up ssh with vnc.
