You don't need the 'of=/dev/stdout' ; dd will default to this if no file name given...
I would suspect that the /dev/stdout device file is not actually there, so your computer opens up a standard file on the root partition (called /dev/stdout !) and copies the information into there.

There's always a way with linux!
Try this:
On desktop:
nc -lp 666 > dumpofhda1
then:
dd if=/dev/hda1 | nc DESKTOPIP 6666
Run 'trafshow' on a different console to see the data being transferred, or run dd with its 'show percentage done' thingy.
Goodluck! hope this helps!
