Yes, if you have 4 computers on your network, it would benefit you to have a web server. The web server would allow you to have faster internet access and speed.
the server that contains the network firewalls configurations
That would be called a server. A server "serves" the computer files or printer access over the network for client computers access.
One could assume that the question asks what the benefit of a (computer) network is. Answer: To put it simply, networks allow for multiple computers (clients) to pull information stored on one main computer (server). However, in peer to peer networking, the advantage would be that all computers on said network would then be able to share files with one another, and communicate.
The purpose of a server for a network is to provide a communications between the Internet and your computer (in other words it serves as a way to allow others outside of your home network to communicate with your computer)
It would be a host. All other computers connected to that network are clients.
Some of the components that are utilized by server computers are things such as a motherboard, processor, and hard drives. Other components would include graphics, power supply and network connections.
You can benefit from using a DNS server to allow others to access your network. Hence, a social network or blog would be the best options.
The benefit would be to automatically assign network addresses to clients that need them to work on a local area network. Without DHCP you would have to assign each device an address, subnet mask, and default gateway, plus DNS and WINS server addresses, which can be time consuming and error prone. With DHCP, most of those problems disappear.
From a network topology perspective, a personal computer that is connected to the network is a node. From a software/OS perspective, this would be a network client, but personal computers can act as, or serve the role of, a server, but I think that is out of scope of the question.
False - a peer-to-peer network is simpler.
Client-server technology is not industry specific; any company that would benefit from a client-server network would use it. Further to the point, any company that uses email uses a client-server technology. We can therefore say that client server technology has become ubiquitous, and can not be attributed to any particular industry or segment.
yes, if it has two or more network interfaces. But why would you? Waste of a server....
