If you can ping the address with the IP, most likely your DNS service or server is down, and you need to switch to another DNS server address like Google DNS 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 in your network adapter properties.

Doing an NSlookup is also a fun thing to do when you are bored since have you ever wonder what the IP address of Google was? Now you can by using NSlookup.
