First, you have to talk to an old man located North of Viridian City. After speaking with him, he will ask if you're in a hurry. Reply "no" and watch his demonstration.

After this, fly to Cinnabar and Surf along the east coast as close as you can.

You should encoutner Missing No. now!

It is also worth mentioning that you will gain 128 of whatever item is in your 6th slot after beating / capturing it. This is helpful for rare candies!

A quote from the pokepedia entry on this seems to explain it rather well

"There is a glitch[3] (called the "Old Man trick") in Red, Green(Japan),and Blue that allows a player to battle nearly any Pokemon they wish, depending on the characters of their name. The player should start by viewing the Old Man's Pokemon catching tutorial in Viridian City. Immediately afterward, the player should Fly to Cinnabar Islandand Surf on the east coast (the half-land half-sea tiles). They should not, at any point, swim onto a fully-water tile. Depending on the characters in the player's name, they may eventually encounter MISSINGNO.."

There is no guarantee that you will ever actualy find it but this will increase your chances quite a bit.

Surfing up and down on the Cinnibar island east coast after talking to the old make in the north of Viridian City and talking to him. You will then not only encounter missingno but also a selection of pokemon over level 100. I found a level 138 snorlax once :D Also your sixth slot item will multiply so put something useful in there like a TM or Rare candies :D
