Gregg, It sounds like you're entering the laptop's IP address into the viewer, rather than the desktop's. There's no magic to connecting to a server - VNC Viewer just connects to the IP address or DNS name you tell it to, so if you tell it the wrong name or address, you'll connect to the wrong computer. I'm assuming that you're connecting via a LAN, since you say you've disabled port-forwarding in your router.
