If you are wondering whether your IP Address is Static or Dynamic, you will find below a simple way to Check If your IP is Static or Dynamic type. Is My IP Address Static or Dynamic Type? If you have a regular cable or DSL service, it is most likely that you are browsing the internet using a Dynamic IP.
well, there are several things to consider here
1) your router might be set in a way that it hands out the .3 IP via DHCP, so another machine on the network might be using the .3 address already
2) do you have another device set up to use .3?
3) do you have set your subnetmask, routing and DNS information? those are important. subnetmask should be 255.255.255.0 and routing and DNS is the IP of your router in most cases
4) your static IP should start with either 192. or 10., is that the case?
5) if all of that doesn't help, can you access your router with the static IP (entering its IP in the browser URL field)?
edit: also, OS X has a little annoying bug where it sometimes deletes your DNS info when you switch from DHCP to manual IP. after you are done, click apply in the network settings dialog, go back to the system preferences main dialog, back into network, click advanced, switch to the DNS tab and make sure your DNS IP is present in the DNS-Servers list. if not, add it and apply the changes.
