tcp/ip port setting

I am having trouble connecting to my DEA controller on my Global.
Using rs-232 connection I was able to use hyper terminal to show the connections.

READY
SHOW TCPIP
TCP/IP Information

Ctrl Internet Address : 80.128.0.2
Port Number : 0
Host Internet Address : 80.128.0.1
Connection State : listening
Bad IP Checksums : 0
Bad TCP Checksums : 0
Packets Retransmitted : 0

Is there a way to change the port setting remotely? It should be set to 2001, but as you see it is 0 now. The motherboard was changed recently in the controller.

I plugged back the old computer again and when I try to ping the controller I got the same problem. It seems all this time it was running with the rs-232 com port. The strange thing is on my old computer (windows XP) it shows that a network status as connected so it is looks like you running the controller with your network card, but actually it is not working, because if you unplug the rs-232 cable then the machine lose connection.

I wonder how can a firmware lose its setting info? Maybe it was not set up correctly at the first place? They want to charge 1400$ to come out to look at it.
