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?
