Is the ISP the same as the network for a computer?
Not usually. Typically "network" is referred to as being your home network. This includes any computers you have wired to a router or any wireless computers accessing your wireless access point (can be the same as your router) if you have one. The ISP is the company that provides you access to the internet. This is a typical setup where "network" is anything that is connected to the left of the modem. Computer -> DSL/Cable Modem -> ISP -> Internet

Is there a way to connect two computers to the same modem. I have a Qwest modem right now and I want to try and link it to the computer downstairs. Is that possible?
Assuming the two computers are connected via an internal network (e.g., through a network switch), you can set up a proxy on the computer that has the modem. This makes it possible to share the Internet connection - as long as the computer that has the proxy is turned on. I am talking about a software proxy here; several proxy programs are available, both free and commercial.
