Client/Server:

Client/Server networks have more centralized control of the network through the network server. The communication and services on the network are controlled through the server. The resources, such as Internet service and printer sharing, are controlled through the network server. If you were to set up passwords to get on the network, this would also be controlled through the server.

Considering that a client/server network is generally more complicated and expensive than a peer-to-peer network, you're probably asking yourself why you would ever need one. Here are the circumstances in which you might want to consider using a client/server network:

• You expect that your network will grow over time and might exceed 10 users.
• You have a PC that has a noticeable advantage in processor speed and disk drive (storage) space.
• You need to control access to your network.
• You want to be able to have greater management and monitoring control over your network.
• You want to set up a Web server (a special server that creates Web pages on the Internet).

These are all reasons you should consider using a client/server network
