I tried changing $${local_ip_v4} to a static IP in the vars.xml and internal and external sip_profiles files. This didn't work.

Make sure that one of your network interfaces - the one that you want FreeSWITCH to use - is assigned that address first, otherwise there will be nothing for FreeSWITCH to bind to when it starts. I don't know much about Windows, so if you're running FreeSWITCH on Windows, I'm sure there will be others on the list who are in a position to help. If you're using Linux, just make sure that the address you want is associated with an interface, e.g., using ifconfig, then start FreeSWITCH with the pre-processor variable $${local_ip_v4} set appropriately.
