Generally speaking, you don't assign a static IP via the PC.
It depends on what IP you are talking about:
Local (within your LAN)
Public (internet IP address).

The former you can set via the PC on some systems - it depends on how the network and particularly the DCHP are configured.

The later you cannot select yourself - it is assigned by your ISP, and generally you will have to pay extra if you want an static IP address rather than a dynamic one.

SQL server is not Oracle: you do not need a static IP.
When you want to connect, make sure that the servername can be resolved by DNS, and use the correct instance name.
Also check that the firewall of the computer where your sql server is running does not block incoming calls.
Next, the SQL server can be configured not to accept calls from other computers - check that that is not configured.
