first thing to try would be connecting from home PC to laptop with remote desktop. Has the laptop been set to accept incoming RDP connections (port 3389) - by default it's not enabled.

I assume your 'network' is using ICS from a lan card in the PC to the Laptop. Yes a router would be better, but may not solve this problem.

Does either the PC or Laptop have a firewall blocking 3389?
