Are the laptops on internal networks (10.0.0.0/8 for example) or on real internet
addresses? In the latter case, you just do

  ssh a.b.c.d

using the IP addresses from one machine to the other, providing the username
is same on both machines. Otherwise use: ssh user@a.b.c.d
You can also put the a.b.c.d octets together your chosen hostnames in /etc/hosts
and use the hostnames instead.

Does your ISP change your IP regularly, or is it fixed?
If it changes, the ssh only works from laptop2 to laptop1; and for the reverse
you have to play some tricks.
