    If I understand you correctly, your LAN looks like

                          +-------+
    desktop --------------: ADSL |
                          | modem :--- internet
    laptop --- router ----: |
                          +-------+

    But who's doing the NAT? Is it just the router? If so then that's
    probably your problem. The desktop needs to be NATed too. Or is the
    modem doing NAT (too?)?
