Your upload spots are probably full...Try to connect with each other straight away...
If the spots are taken to quickly, (I shouldn't say this ) kill the uploads and make way for your sons IP number...

Could be the firewall you are using is blocking your son? Try turning it off.

This suggest to me that "Direct Connect" worked while you were using a version of LW Basic.

Have you considered going back to this version of Basic?

Have you enabled or disabled UPnP in your O/S, LW and your modem?

Let us know.
