Do you have both wired and wireless interfaces active? It's possible that the wireless connection is already on the 10.19.43.9 address and lets you connect to the camera through it, but when you try to set the wired connection to the same subnet things get confused.
Right now we don't have a laptop to work with, so the computer I'm working with (which doesn't have a wireless adapter) is wired directly with an Ethernet cable to the router (the camera and cRIO are also wired directly).

I'm not sure how the computer obtains the IP automatically, all I know is when it is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" typing 10.19.43.11 in Chrome gets me to the camera's panel, but when I choose "Use the following IP address", type 10.19.43.5 and go to 10.19.43.11 in Chrome, it doesn't show anything.

Edit: I found a laptop to work with and connected it wireless-ly to the router (the cRIO and camera stayed wired directly) and it actually acted the same way. When I set it to automatic IP the camera worked (but no cRIO communication) and when I set the IP to 10.19.43.5 the camera stopped working and the cRIO communications came back.
