This means that he monitored switch use, recorded the MAC addresses of the network cards using each port, and set ports on some (but not all) switches to only allow those MAC addresses. My (broken) server is kept turned off most of the time, so he disallowed all access to that particular port. When I switched it to another port, it still didn't work because it wasn't registered for that port. When I changed the server name to one that worked, that didn't work either for the same reason. The thing is, the contractor did this without telling anyone, including anyone in IT. A week of work, wasted. Thanks everyone for helping track down this problem.
