A server is a computer that provides services (hints the word server) such as a mail server or a web server. They are the building blocks of the computer world as we know it. That is why they are air conditioned and cared for.
Servers
File servers do those things. There are specialized servers as well, for example web servers, database servers, remote access servers, fax servers--the list goes on and on. But file servers are the backbone of providing access and managing files and who has access to what resources at which times.BTW. Access to the network is usually referred to as Authentication. And Rights or Security Management is usually what controls access to files, printers, and other resources.
Networked computers.
Its not a Router.. they only manage traffic on the network. Servers are specialized COMPUTERS that manage network resources and ALLOW computers access to the network.. BINGO! Sounds like you are talking about a "Router". A router manages and direct traffic on your local network. Routers make your connection faster and easier. It also makes your local network more secure!
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.
