try using tools like telnet to see if you can retrieve anything from a web server.
Code:
telnet www.yahoo.com 80
should get you connected to the web server at yahoo, for example, and if you type GET / you should get some HTML returned. This test can help isolate the problem as being a browser problem or network problem.
If your telnet test just hangs, you should double-check that you don't have outgoing port 80 blocked somehow (firewall or some other security tool) on the server. It seems to me windows server had some lockdown tools that could block outgoing http even without a firewall, but it's been many years since I did much with windows server OS.
