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
