We are running Win98.
The ISDN service is BRI.
Only inbound protection on the network is NAT at the router.
As far as networking protocols / applications, the two computers appear
identical.

Assuming that your assessment of the settings is correct, and
seeing that it worked with the laptop, I have to ask: what's on the
problem computer that isn't on the laptop? Was it changed in the
last week?
Backing off a little: What OS is the problem machine running? Is
this ISDN a BRI dial-up, or a PRI circuit? Is the router doing NAT?
