Last week, my WinXP desktop had no problem connecting to my WinXP laptop
via Remote Desktop.
I was on the road for 5 days; now, back in the office, the desktop can't
connect to the laptop.

As far as I know, I haven't changed anything on the laptop (although it
appears obvious that something changed....)
I have disabled the firewall on the laptop, but still can't connect.

My home network consists of 3 desktop computers connected via ethernet
cable to a router, and one wireless laptop.

Any ideas on what would cause this sudden onset problem?

TIA...

You need to state clearly what your setup is:.
- Is the desktop connected to the same network as the laptop or do you make
a connection via the Internet?
- Does the laptop have a fixed internal IP address?
- Do you connect via a VPN?
- If you connect via the Internet, does the desktop have a fixed external IP
address?
etc. etc.
- Does the laptop have a fixed IP address or does it use DHCP?
