A server is nothing more than a computer that that is being used to distribute computer files (or other types of information) on demand to other computers. Once a server is enabled (which can be done on most computers if they have the requisite software) the computer waits for requests from remote computers (called clients), finds the requested files or data in its system, processes it if necessary, and then sends it to the remote computer.

What is Client-Server Networking?
A server is a database--on a server. The client is: a person on a PC connected to the server via odbc querying the database. A database is only an app on the server. You can have a domain controller, a mail server, a nat server, web hosting... doesnt matter whats on it. And the client wouldn't really be person, a person is referred to as a user. A client is generally the computer. So what is client server networking? Its when you have perhaps 4 clients all using the server for something. The server kinda being like a master. But usually most clients will look to the server for their network settings (DHCP), and perhaps NAT etc..... But like the above person mentioned you can have database's on your server. But your not just limited to database's, you can have mail server's, web servers, app server etc....
