remote desktop connection problem and printing in vista

i have a wireless network and i'm using a vista home premium on my laptop.
Before, on a desktop, i can remotely control my laptop through remote desktop
connection. But now i can't connect anymore. But connecting from my laptop
to a desktop remotely doesn't have a problem.

Also, printing on my laptop to a desktop's printer is not working. there's
no error. What am doing is remotely connecting to a desktop computer using
my laptop then go to my laptop's hard drive.

I hope you could help me on this.

thanks so much

I would check firewall or security software settings first. Can you telnet
port 3389?
