A Local Area Network usually means several computers to each other, like the typical home network.

LW will find other LW's running on that network automatically (search results show as blue stars).

Wide Area Networks (WAN) are like all the cable subscribers in a particular neighbourhood, who are then connected to one of the CableCo's servers.

I have a home LAN, which connects to the cablemodem, which is on a WAN, which then connects to the larger Internet.

Easy to understand? Ha! I wish.

I don't know how your LAN at home connects to throught the dial-up modem. Can more than one computer in your house get email at the same time through the dial-up connection?
