Hi Webboy2008,
I know this is probably not what you were asking, but I would use LogMeIn instead of RDP. The free version does everything that RDP does (and more) and manages to sort out with ease any IP/Firewall etc issues. Thieir website is LogMeIn.com

If it is used within the Home LAN then no extra tool is needed. If it is outside - you could always just use TeamViewer which is secure and needs no configurations. I use it to to connect to my home computer from work and I also use it with clients are remote support.
Which version of Windows 7 are you using on your laptop? The Home version of windows 7 doesn't support RDP.
try using Win7 Ultimate
No need to change operating system. LogMeIn will work with any varient.

It has nothing to do with ASP.NET, why assign it to Programming with ASP.NET zone?
If you are connecting from outside the router LAN then let me know - that IP will not work.
IF you are within your home LAN and you are trying to RDP from a Windows XP machine you need to change the Remote tab settigns on your Windows 7 machine to:
"Allow connection from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)".
