Server is a system that is used for providing services to clients. for example print server provides print service, dhcp service provides dhcp service
Networking means transferring data from the server to the client. The client data can be sent to the server. Other servers can also receive data via networking.
It can be set to both Lan's typically use server based networking, but a Lan can have no server at all, just workstations that link together.

No. A Domain uses a Client/Server networking Model. A Workgroup uses a peer-to-peer networking model.

Many networking services use a client-server model, where information is centralized at a server. The server will wait for requests from a "client", and once it receives one, it will reply. The functions vary widely, depending on what server you use; you have centralized storage of files, databases (as in "an oracle server"), dynamic assignment of IP addresses (DHCP server), centralized printing (print server), sharing an Internet connection (Proxy server), and many others. "Server" may refer to any of these services, but also to the computer that hosts these services.
If you need server space, that's the way to go. Your networking needs are better served in that way than in any other.
A Runescape private server can be run off of almost any personal computer for no cost. It does require extensive knowledge of networking and running a server, however.
For Microsoft it has be either server 2003 or server 2008. Stay from the sbs, home server, web edition or whatever else. All these other products are pretty much just watered down versions of server 2003 and 2008 For Linux, I cant speak from personal experience. But one thing I have noticed over the years is that people will take a liking for a certain Linux distro and that's it. As far as they are concerned their distro is the best. BTW: FreeBsd seems to be highly recommended.
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....
