Making a few assumptions about your computers ;-)
RH 7.3 or earlier on the desktop based on your desktop
RH 8.0 as I recall on the laptop.
Any chance that this form is with PHP?
There were changes in PHP (though I can't remember the version of PHP,
but the change was around the time RH moved over to Apache 2). The
problem is in early version of PHP an option "register_vars" was enabled
by default- in which a variable on a form named "test", then it would be
avaialble $test.
The other subtle change was $HTTP_POST_VARS{"test"} and
$HTTP_GET_VARS{"test"} changed to $_POST["test"] or $_GET["test"].
If you're not using PHP then that's irrelevant, and more details about
what the script is written in is required.
