Can you provide some deatails about your network ?
How do other machines connect to the internet ?
How does this server connect to the internet ?
Is this server acting as a proxy for other machines ?
Was this server able to connect to the internet before ?

I would check cabling and then check it’s iP configuration. Also think about moving it to a different network port if possible. i”ve seen ports just “die”.

Can you ping another computer on the network as well as the gateway?

From the server at the command line, see if you can ping http://www.google.com.

Aquacer0 yes users can log onto the internet, so it’s working, i’ve tried restarting the server but still no luck, it’s just the server that can’t get onto to the internet, can’t even download updates or log on with a browser, even the on the intranet sites we have here.

Can users log onto the internet? If they can’t, then I would see if I can ping http://www.google.com to see if the internet is working (networking side). If it responds, then I would assume that restarting your websense system to see if it just comes back up.
