I didn't see your edited post before I replied. "False" means there's something wrong. It's either your firewall configuration or it's your router. I presume your router does not use UPnP right? And that's why you manually port forwarded. BTW there's lots of other ports you can try. Here's some examples: 1111, 3500, 4008, 1203, 10000, 15189, 80, 20282, 22817, 443, 34599, 40475. Some others: 8360, 19515, 20285, 22091, 25079, 33049, 42628.

When you did your port forwarding, did you set up a static ip 1st? This is most important otherwise the port forwarding won't work after you reconnect the 1st time. And also within LW's firewall settings to tick the manual port forward option. You can only port forward one port for one computer, ie: if you wanted to use LW on the other computer, you'd need to use a different port for port forwarding for that computer.

I would also recommend updating your LW to 4.9.33

(ISP = Internet Service Provider ... the company who you connect thru.)
