A server is a dedicated computer connected to networks, its job is to serve other clients (computers), so all th clients hook up with the server to get something done, like checking up mail, downloading files, reading Yahoo Answers etc.
Peer-to-peer topology decentralize data communication, where a client can contact another client and share something like a file, do text and voice chat directly without depending much on a server. Still in peer-to-peer way a client can be a client and/or server.

A client-server network has a dedicated server that all the computers connect to. All resources that are shared over the network have to go through this server. The other computers can't directly connect to the each other.
In a peer-to-peer network, all of the computers act as a server. They can share the resources with the others. This type of network usually is limited to 10 clients per system.

A community server is a server hosted through someone and having distinct connections to that server. A peer-to-peer community is the position one computer instantly connects to a distinct computer for a connection and used for issues alongside with transfering archives.
