Is it possible to have a fixed IP for VPN Server

I'm not a network guy (more on the dev side) and I  have an issue with a 
client with the VPN server not having the same IP each time the server is 
rebooted.  We have 3-4 users accessing a Windows 2003 server through VPN and 
a shared drive and the mapped drive is done using the VPN Server'S IP address 
(cause I didn't know better).

Now, each tiem the server is rebooted (updates or what have you), the VPN 
Server IP address changes and all the users freak out because their mapped 
drive is no longer valid.

How to avoid that?  Is there a way to tell the VPN server to always use the 
same IP or is there a way to map the remote network drive so it doesn't use 
the IP address of the server?

Thanks a lot for your help,
