Trying to understand how to use static IP work from ISP

Hi this is for my home, I was trying to host games and struggled hosting them so I could only join games but others cant join me. So after talking with my ISP, they said I had to pay for a static IP from the ISP. So anyways, they said that all is set and that I could forward ports etc. Even though they gave me the static IP, I did try to put it in my Netgear router, to use that IP , and it wouldn't work, so I went back to auto DHCP and it will get online. I'm wondering how can i configure my router to use that IP address? I could ping that static IP, and get to my main wireless page (I use wireless ISP) based on the number they gave me. What do I need to do. Thank you.
