Always start with the obvious: are you sure you are entering the correct 
password? i.e. caps lock isn't on.
Assuming that that isn't the problem, you might try copying your desktop 
setting over to your laptop. There will be a folder "~/.thunderbird" or 
"~/mozilla-thunderbird" or something like that. If you copy the entire 
folder from desktop to laptop you will have all of you settings. If you 
still have problems you can be sure that it isn't a setting problem. And 
if everything is fixed, well then yippee.

One side note is that I think my ISP doesn't let me use their send mail 
server from outside their network. It works fine if I am plugged into my 
router at home but fails when I am connected at work. Could this be a 
factor?

To be or not to be, that is the question
                2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
        0b11000100 || !0b11000100
        0b11000100 || 0b00111011
               0b11111111
        255, that is the answer.
