Is it possible to change the IP address in the Kodi 14.1 settings?

No, but Google searching "creating a Static IP in Windows" should get you what you are looking for.

As far a I know (google) smart DNS is for access of geo restricted URL's/services via a DNS/proxy redirect.
I believe there is a proxy setting in KODI, system>internet access>use a proxy server

Are you trying to use a smart DNS service from within Kodi like for example you have an addon that accesses content in an other country and you are now blocked?
If that's the case, all you need to do is change your DNS servers to point to your Smart DNS provider. Kodi will pick it up. So the question has nothing to do with Kodi but with your operating system.
Usually, these Smart DNS providers have detailed instructions on how to change your settings for all the major OSes

You do not need to change anything in Kodi or anywhere else. You need to set the DNS Servers of your Kodi computer to the SmartDNS ones and leave your IP settings to automatic.
That way the Kodi computer will benefit from the SmartDNS features.
If you want all of your home devices to benefit from the SmartDNS features, you need to change the DNS settings of your router's WAN/Internet port.

So the fact my internal IP is listed in Kodi doesn't matter?
