well if you've restarted the server, then it's an issue on the server. Not a networking question, moved to Linux - Newbie.
You also need to tell us what this "server" is. You can server hundreds of thousands of different things, the word "server" means very very little here. is this a web server? mail? ssh?
I would restart the client. Leave the client turned off for a few minutes to clear any messed up connection requests on the server. I always shut down all clients before shutting down a server.

All clients? We've not established what this server even is yet. Have you just asked him to reboot 20,000 pcs browsing a website he runs? You've given some very specific advice when we've no idea what he's talking about yet. May well not be for the best.
