SERVERS IN DAILY LIFE

Any computer or device serving out applications or services can technically be called a server. In an office or enterprise environment, the network server is easy to identify. A DSL/Cable modem router qualifies as a server because it provides a computer with application services like IP address assignment (via DHCP) and NAT, which is the firewall that helps protect a computer from harm. iTunes software implements a music server to stream music between computers. Many home users create shared folders and printers. There are also many private servers for such hosting online games such as Everquest, World of Warcraft, and Counter-strike
