It's pretty basic, if you're stepping into something that's networked, that IP address isn't chosen on application level. IPs are assigned by ISPs (internet service providers). Then, if there's a software that's listening to a specific port on a machine that is assigned to a specific IP - you can connect to this software.
On software side you have control over which port to use (listen, in case of server application).
Regarding server name - go to your MCS folder and find settings.ini. Under the [Server] section you'll fing Description=something. This "something" is your server's description sting, the one that'll show up in clients when they click "Multiplayer".
