Using Firefox i can connect to the net and Windows Update works, IE cant reach anything and nor can any other app. Winsoc has been reset along with the usual checks on DNS etc. I can still ping out to the web without any issues. Try using FF to download the latest version of IE for your server then install from there.

I have seen bizarre things when trying to use old really old versions of IE. IE is up to date and the system is fully patched. I've got a couple of old servers that do the same thing.
