Gated back home and now I can't log in

[Jostan]

Hello,
So I'm commuting back and forth from Texas to Ohio and I'm back in in Ohio and can't log in. If I had my eqemu screen up on my laptop in Texas, would that prevent me from even being able to connect to the server on my desktop in Ohio? I'm pretty sure I wasn't logged in, just had the log in screen up and closed the laptop which should have put it in stand by mode.
