A personal computer is usually a stand alone computer in the home and is fully functional by itself. A server computer can do many things, usually used in offices, schools and any other establishment with several machines. A servers main existence is to connect other computers around it and proved services. Such as on a network at one of these establishments let say you click print on a word document, this would then be sent to the server and then sent to the printer nearby. I use to work for a University, they had about 70 servers, quite often a server will have one duty such as a web server which simply sends the websites you want to see to your computer. The internet is made of servers that share data all day.

FranGenerally a Client computer connects to a server computer to obtain various services.

a workstation is a group of computers or laptops and other network equipment such as a network printer utilizing local area network resources at one location used by a group of people while a client computer is a single computer used by a person (it is define, not like a network equipment).
A server waits for requests from the client. Once the client does a request, the server responds. The "client-server" system is used in may different cases; for example, FTP, filesharing, sharing a printer, databases, etc.

1 For a communication session between a pair of processes which process is the client and which is the server?
with the Web, a browser is a client process and a Web server is a server process. With p2p file sharing, the peer that is downloading the file is labeled as the client, and the peer that is uploading the file is labeled as the server.
How connectionless communication between a client and a server proceeds when using sockets?
Both the client and the server create a socket, but only the server binds the socket to a local endpoint. The server can then subsequently do a blocking readcall in which it waits for incoming data from any client. Likewise, after creating the socket, the client simply does a blocking call to write data to the server. There is no need to close a connection.
What are the difference between peer to peer networks ans client server?
Peer to Peer networking has no central "hub" to store the data to be downloaded. When a Client needs information, they connect to other clients on a network to download that information. An example of Peer-to-Peer networking is BitTorrent. Client-Server Networks use a central computer as a hub to store information. So when a client needs to access information, they need to access the Server for that data. An example of a Client-Server Network is any website.
