Windows2003 r2 ie8

I wouldn't want to have such an old combination full on unpatched security holes connecting to the internet - what do you need to do here? Why do you need to go on the internet at all from a server, get what you need from your own browser and move it to the server. The server is also very old and no longer supported, give it is a file server migration shouldn't be too hard, you should focus on getting the data moved to a newer OS.

The problem lies in IE 8, it is simply not supported by most web sites today. The latest version of Chrome won't load either. I'm guessing you're trying to let someone remote into your server via some website like gotomypc. If so, have them remote into a workstation and then RDP into the server.

Agree with others, you really shouldn't be using IE8 in Windows Server at all. It is unpatched and too dangerous to use.
