Speaking as a network engineer of 25 years' experience, most often the computers that are connected to the network are called stations or workstations. Those that are devoted to storing data, providing print services, etc. are referred to as servers. Most often nowadays, we do not have dedicated servers as were most common in years past. Since so many now use Windows as the choice for their server, they are frequently set up in a peer-to-peer network. Only if someone sets a machine aside and actually installs some version of Windows Server on the machine is it set up more to be a server but still, technically, it is still in a peer-to-peer situation since the machine can still be used as a workstation. A dedicated server cannot be so used, such as the case of the Novell Netware servers that were common until about a decade ago.
When one speaks of clients in regard to computers, that is generally in regard to licensing (as would the term "seats") but the engineer would most often not use those terms nor would the help desk.
As for the term node, that is a term that a network engineer or technician would use when referring to the logical design of the network but once again this would not be used when speaking with a network user. To put it simply, essentially any device that can accept an IP address is a node. As such, managed switches are referred to as nodes but unmanaged switches generally are not.
They are often called Clients. Any device which is connected to a network (including switches, routers, servers and also computers/clients) is called a Node.
It is simply called "Node"
A terminal - or a workstation.
workstation
workstation
Domain
A node.
Intranet
A personal computer that is connected to a network is called a workstation or terminal.
a home group or work group
Local Area Network (LAN) allows two or more computers to access the internet through a single router and, by creating a shared folder/directory, to share data between any computer connected to the LAN.
A node is a device connected to a network such as a computer or a game console. (Each device connected to a network is referred to as a node. A node can be a computer, printer, game console, or router.)
Personal Computer is the computer that is not connected unto any other computer. Network Computer are computers that are inter-connected with each others. Network Computer can access any other computers files/data from one another.
Server.
A personal computer that is connected to a network is called a workstation or terminal.
LAN
a home group or work group
It is known as a local printer, as opposed to a network printer, which is a printer connected to a network.
when one symstem of one computer is connected to the system of other network it is called intra network
Host computer is a central computer or server which connected all other devices within a network.
Local Area Network (LAN) allows two or more computers to access the internet through a single router and, by creating a shared folder/directory, to share data between any computer connected to the LAN.
A node is a device connected to a network such as a computer or a game console. (Each device connected to a network is referred to as a node. A node can be a computer, printer, game console, or router.)
A computer is a computer even if it's not connected to anything. But it's usually referred to a "Stand-Alone" device. Additionally, if a computer is NOT part of any particular domain, it's default "domain" (at least for windows) is WORKGROUP.

It is called a network. If there are computers are connected to each other in the same building or immediate area, then they are considered to be part of a Local Area Network (LAN). If they are connected to other LANs around the world, then they are part of a Wide-Area Network (WAN). A famous WAN many are familiar with is the Internet.
