	Were both setup by your company's IT department, or
if not, who?  Are they both running the same version of windows?

	Is your laptop a member of the domain?  How do each of them
resolve User&Group ID's?

It doesn't sound like your laptop is looking up the ID's 
from the same location as your desktop, and perhaps more likely,
it doesn't sound like your laptop is looking up ID's by checking
with the domain.

There's also cygwin user's guide on cygwin.com, that talks about
how ID resolution works.

Might want to download the manual from
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.pdf
(also available online, at the site, in other formats).
