It's impossible. No computer on, no power, no active network connection. Hence, the server doesn't have power, the server doesn't have an active network connection.

Does his bread get toasted too if he doesn't put the plug of the toaster in the wall?
Does his car start with a dead battery too?

well maybe his friend's server is on a different computer?

If you turn off the computer that is running the server, the server will no longer be available. Your friend is either:

A) Pulling your chain.
B) Hosting the server through a hosting company.
C) Hosting the server on a different machine than the one he is shutting down.
D) Not actually hosting a server.
