It's highly likely that your TCP/IP settings are set to obtain
the DNS (nameserver) id's automatically. I.e., from your ISP. To
see if the problem rests with your ISP's nameserver, install Sam
Spade (http://static.samspade.org/ssw/spade114.exe). Configure it
to use a publicly available nameserver (e.g., I use
204.117.214.10)  Then, using Sam Spade, try pinging the Google
and Hotmail sites.  If that works, then the problem is with your
ISP nameserver.
