Are the PC and the laptop both connected to the network? My systems are networked and every time I've used the briefcase feature, I've never had to deal with any port issues. Right-click on your desktop and select New then Briefcase. Select the New Briefcase and rename it to a more descriptive name. Now just copy any files you plan to work on at another location into the new briefcase, just as you would any other folder. The files in the briefcase, called sync files, are now linked to the originals. You're set to go with no port settings needed.
