In the end, I sussed out that there was something connected to the network that was killing it, and I assume that it was a router because when I connected with my laptop I was getting a different IP than I should have been getting.

Welcome to being a sysadmin. Every company I've worked at has regularly had their networks killed by DHCP servers (or routers with DHCP capability) being plugged into it at one point or another.
This is one of the few things that kills networks real dead for real long times and makes the sysadmin panic real real bad until he finds the problem.
