If you check Network Connections is the Wireless Connection shown
with any numbers ? Like Wireless Network Connection 3. It's possible
since your travel that a new Wireless Network was created.
Only one "Wireless Network Connection".

Do all the PCs share the same Workgroup name ?
Yes.

From the desktop if you use Network browsing do you see the other
computers ?
Yes.

What happens if you open an RD session with the laptop's IP Address ?
That's how I connect -- via IP. I have local IP addresses (192.168.0.x)
assigned to each computer via the router so I can reliably route SVN stuff,
VNC, etc.


Final question - Could someone have reset your Router and lost any
customization settings, like Port Forwarding Port 3389 ?
I don't think I had any specific port forwarding for 3389, but I have set it
up now, and still can't connect to the laptop.

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...
