If you're simply changing port setting within LW to connect through then a static ip shouldn't be necessary.

Not unless you do manual port forwarding is a static ip necessary. And it must be done before you forward a port, else it wouldn't work & you'd need to repeat the procedure.
Well, I've got "Manual Port Forward" check in my LW configuration with the listen port 64049, not UPnP.
From what I understand, I should exit LW completely, create a static IP and then re-open LW, or did I miss the point??
