Static IP assigned to Windows Server 2016 running as a VM on VirtualBox

I have an installation of Windows Server 2016 running as a VirtualMachine within Oracle's VirtualBox all on my Windows 10 notebook. Set up as a test environment so I can learn about how server software works and how to use it.

After getting through the initial installation, I decided to try and change the IP address assignment from DHCP to static.

I'm not exactly sure what all I need to do in order to get this to work.

I have gone through Network Connections -> IPv4 -> Use the following IP address:...

But once I swap to static, I lose connectivity.

I am basically looking for help on figuring out what I need to do/change on the host side as well as on the VM settings side for the static assignment to work.

Thank you for any guidance.
