In LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to 64049 > apply > ok.

You could also try port forwarding for your router. Follow the directions here

and don't forget to set up a static IP address first. You'll see instructions in that link. Port forwarded thru a router must be the same number as LW's listening port!!

See how that goes. I don't know how much Starhub's network was effected by the Taiwan earthquake...some places are still having major problems with internet so maybe that has something to with it as well
