You are going to have to list the steps that you go through.
A forgetful cRIO is not a new problem, but more details will help.

About the second Ethernet port:
The first thing I can think of is the Boolean on the BD of the Begin.vi. It controls the IP address where to look for the camera. I believe true is to use the bridge, and false is to use the older method of the second port. Of course the camera would have to be set to that IP address if you chose to use the second port.
