You will probably have to port forward your desktop to get it to work with LW but first check if you have UPnP activated in your desktop copy of LW.

I have a suspicion that your modem has got UPnP activated by default and probably your laptop's copy of LW has got UPnP activated as well, that’s why it works and your desktop doesn’t.
