I have a weird problem I can't figure out. I'm trying to enable Apache's deflating module.

I uncommented the LoadModule for mod_deflate, and in my web-root htaccess I added:

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript application/javascript

The weird part is this works perfectly find on my laptop, but from my desktop, where I host sites, it doesn't. Both have the same version of Apache. I can't figure out why one works and the other doesn't. Has anyone encountered this problem before and recognize what the problem is?

I'm not that familiar with your problem but it sounds like there is a slight difference in the related files on the desktop as opposed to the laptop. Here (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html) are the details.
