It appears that your DNS isn't working since you can't resolve google.com to
216.239.57.99.

Find out from your ISP what are the IP addresses of their nameservers, and
enter that information into your MICROS~1 PCs and in /etc/resolv.conf in
Linux, have:

nameserver a.b.c.d
nameserver w.x.y.z

using the IP addresses they gave you.
