Has this just started since you updated to 5.4.6? You said that it happened once before & you were able to fix things by doing a system restore... last time it happened, was that also after updating to a new version of LW?

First thing I'd try is deleting LW's preferences folder. That's often a fix for connection problems after updating Just remember that LW must be completely closed before deleting the prefs folder. And see the help thread below for how to find out whether you've deleted that folder properly!
Check out this thread for info about deleting the prefs folder (there's a link specific to Vista): If LW 5 Will Not Connect

Otherwise you can try the other fixes in that thread.

Have you tried connecting to your router via ethernet cable (wired) rather than wirelessly?

I'm not even sure that your router supports UPnP... can't find any info. You may need to check the User Guide that came with the router.
