Is it that the modem is not 'installed'?

Also, the same modem works without any username and password on another
windows machine after connecting it on the LAN port.


While in parlance you can call it modem technically it is a modem only
if connecting through serial port. If it is connecting through network
cable it is a network device and your problem would be more in area of
setting up IP and ranges.

Clarify.


Incorrect. Modem stands for MOdulator-DEModulator. It converts digital signals to analog and vice versa. There is no requirement for it to be connected to a serial port.
