Hello, first of all, check that there is no record for google in the HOSTS file. If you find one then please delete it. After that, run ipconfig /flushdns to reset DNS cache and try using nslookup in order to check DNS resolution. If all is okay then that should not be a DNS problem. This could also be due to a firewall that is blocking HTTP traffic to Google or an applied group policy that this restricting access using the URL.
