You don't export from the desktop, you import into the laptop.

If you can access the message stores via the network connection, you should
have no problems otherwise, copy the whole message store folder to the
laptop to a separate folder such as C:\Mail then import from that folder
into OE.

From OE:

File | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6
Select "Import mail from an OE6 store directory"
Press OK

Browse to the C:\Mail folder that you copied the DBX files into, select it
to highlight it thenpress OK and finish up thge Import.

Address Book would be similar (Help | About Address Book will show the
location of the WAB file to use too import)

Alternative would be to clone the Identity of the old computer to the new
one so they would be exactly the same.
