63.xxx.xxx.xxx is usually what happens when your DNS servers (or your ISP's most likely) have NX domain redirection turned on (that's the thing where if you enter a hostname into your browser that doesn't exist, it sends you to a helper/search page instead of saying "server not found"). NX domain redirection tends to confuse Sun Rays, but is by no means a fault of the DTU nor is it a stopper to a DTU broadcasting to find a Sun Ray server after failing to connect to 63.xxx.xxx.xxx. If your Sun Ray server is working, your DTU should still be able to connect to it after a delay.
Non-GUI firmware has always been the default. The official documentation that Craig pointed you to earlier has the commands to set the GUI firmware.
