I presume you are using LW 5?

The problem might be your router. Which brand & model is it?

Port forwarding is always more reliable than using UPnP.

To port forward, follow these steps in order: 1. Setting up Static ip for Windows XP

Find your model of 2Wire here PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall

For LW 5, you will see equivalent settings here Manual port forward instructions & sample image. The example they gave is for LW 4.
