are you using bridged or nat?

yes, you can change to any static IP address, or if using DHCP add a reservation for a specific IP Address.
go to start | vmware | virtual network editor
What is inside vm? Windows again?

And yes, you can change any IP.

Are you in LAN and you want to have the same subnet as the host?
Then you should go to virtual machine settings, and under the Network adapter, you choose bridged.
Hope this will help.

What is your goal?

You want to isolate this from the host machine?
You want to use internet in the VM?

YOu want to transfer files to and from VM to Host?

BTW is it VB (virtualbox) or VMware workstation?

The procedures are slightly different.
