You could try running tcpdump to see which packets are causing the dialing. If you can make all the machines idle, there shouldn't be too much traffic. I would guess the packets are from netbios ports on the windows machine to the DNS port on you DNS server. I had to block ports 137-139 for both TCP and UDP traffic on my router. I think windows may only use 137/tcp, 138/tcp and 139/udp, but I blocked all six of the combinations to make sure.
