I think if you can reapply the old template first to get you working.

My first thought is to think the template you applied included an IPSec
policy preventing this machine from communicating with others. Keep in mind,
if you apply a policy to one machine with restrictions, you need to apply
similar settings for all other machines to follow, such as in a GPO. Keep in
mind the sec templates can actually be applied as part of a GPO, under
Windows Settings, rt-click Security Settings, and choose to import. Be
careful and test this out with a test machine in a test OU.

Read this article on how templates work.
