windows-server-2003-r2

Our 64-bit windows server can no longer access the internet although it is a web-server that is hosting webpages accessible by the internet. Since this dilemma the server can no longer receive windows updates or Symantec virus definitions.

We have checked our firewalls so nothing is blocked. Any insight on why this issue happened would be appreciated.

Also the server is running IE6 which we have been trying to update.
