My laptop can connect just fine, but this is a new problem that just
popped up with my desktop machine. Anyone know why?

Make sure the desktop is clean:

If the desktop is virus/malware free:
You have to re-register the following dll's at the command prompt. If
you have SP2, you can do it all in one go:
Start>Run cmd [enter]
iexplore.exe /rereg [enter]
Without SP2:
Start>Run cmd [enter]
regsvr32 mshtml.dll [enter]
Click OK when you get the message that DLLRegisterServer in FileName
succeeded and type "exit" to quit cmd.
Repeat the same with:
regsvr32 mshtmled.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
