When I install a modem and have a NIC card in my PC for some reason I can not make my modem work. I have the correct driver for my modem. When I perform a dial tone test all I get is a screen that says can not open port. When I look in the device manager to see if there are any conflicts under the modem or NIC card it doesn't show any errors.

You have not mentioned the brand of your nic and modem cards. Try changing the slot of the modem and nic one by one (if they are PCI).
If your COM2 is idle disable it from the BIOS and configure your modem to use COM2 IRQ3. If u can mention more details about the hardware one could give u a good suggestion
