Probably won't help you in this situation, but in CiscoWorks 2000, there is a feature in Campus Manager called User Tracking that associates a UserName with a MAC Address and with a Device/Port combination. Has saved my bacon in several cases similar to yours.
Assuming it's Cisco gear, you could also start at the core switch and do either a 'show cam dynamic' or a 'show mac-address-table' and try to follow the uplinks until you end up at an access port with your MAC address Good Luck!

How can I find the physical location of a system if I know the following: NetBIOS name, IP address, MAC Address, and the Domain it is attached too. I have a system that is trying to become the Master Browser and I've discovered all of the above information. The problem is, it's a large flat network, so the IP address comes from a huge pool and doesn't help identify a network segment. The NetBIOS name isn't helpful and the vendor code in the MAC address is shared by almost all the systems. Any utilities that you know of that could help find this station? It's a city-wide school system and driving around from school to school isn't practical, although it is a rather small city... :-) Any info would be great. Thanks.
