Error 404

Hello, I hope someone can help.  So... I purchased a SRV1 a while ago.  I'm only now getting around to setting it up.
My desktop is wired not wireless.  I do have a wireless router attached to a wired modem/router but didn't want to reset my local network to use 169.254.x.x so since my own laptop is not working I had to borrow a laptop to try setting this up.
 
Connected fine to 169.254.0.10 and the SRV console java app produced an image and I could control the robot.  However on the 169.254.0.10 in Chrome no firmware or MAC address numbers are reported.  Those are blank.  Is no firmware number being listed a problem?  It must have firmware, otherwise the webpage wouldn't come up at all in Chrome, right?
 
On the WLAN page I enter my home network name but also for Security I enter WEP instead of None, and type in the passphrase I set for my wireless router.
 
Trying to reset the Network page to use 192.168.0.100 did not work.  I received a Error 404 message when I hit Apply Settings.  Going back to the Network page none of my settings are listed, just some garble.  On the WLAN page my settings there seem to be set, but the passphrase is just one character long (obscured as it should be of course) instead of the 64-bit passphrase I entered.
 
On the Network page in IP address field I assume this is where the IP address that I want the robot to have goes, not the IP of my router or modem, right?
 
By the way, why give it a static IP, why not let my modem assign it an IP (checking the Obtain IP address automatically setting on the Network page) and then set it on the modem to use that address permanently?
 
There was also another setting on the WLAN page below Default Gateway -- I think it was DHCP Server or DNS Server.  I left that blank.
 
So any idea why I received a Error 404 on this?
 
Ultimately I want to control my robot from my desktop, since my desktop is a server and I to put the robot on a webpage accessible to the public.  I assume going through my wired modem to the wireless router to the robot is a setup that should work.

It sounds like things are pretty well scrambled.  The best bet is to use a USB serial interface (3.3V) to reconfigure the matchport, as described here -

The web interface doesn't have access to all of the matchport configuration settings, but the serial interface does.

Okay, but where do I get a USB serial interface -- in Canada?  Or can you send me one?

This would work -

We can send a board, but our office is closed for a week, so this wouldn't happen until 5/20.

By the way, your instructions to attach the USB to serial interface says first to remove the SRV-1 Blackfin camera card from the robot, but it seems I would have to remove other things first, like the vertical piece of plastic the camera is poking through.  I don't see how to do this without completely disassembling everything.

there are only two screws holding the camera board to the plastic.  If you remove these two screws, you will be able to pop out the blackfin board from it's header and then the camera housing can come out of the hole.
