Possible Causes:
    1. DNS Resolution Issues: The system might be unable to resolve the hostname "google.com" to an IP address.
    2. Network Connectivity: There might be a temporary network issue preventing the ping request from reaching its destination.

Troubleshooting Steps:
    1. Check DNS Configuration:  Ensure the system's DNS settings are correct (e.g., using `nslookup` or `dig`).
    2. Verify Network Connection: Check if the network is functioning by pinging other known hosts or websites.
    3. Temporary Network Glitch: Wait a short time and try the ping command again.

Alternative Command:
    Command:  host
