I rent a room so I do not have direct access to the router. However, I have copied all of the information from the command prompt manually into the static IP box. The internet seems to work when I enable DHCP automatically, but not when I try to set a static IP address. Static IPv4

And here are the command prompt details that I used to input the static IP address. I'm on a virtual machine by the way, using Windows Server 2016. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You left the DNS entries blank.
You'll need those in order to translate servernames into ip-addresses.
Without DNS you can use ip-addresses (like ping 8.8.8.8), but accessing things by name (like ping www.google.com) won't work.

They are clearly visible in the ipconfig output: 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76
These probably belong to the upstream ISP. You can use alternative DNS servers if you want as well.
E.g. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for Google DNS or 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 for Cloudflare.
There are many others. Just Google for "public DNS servers".
