Can't Access Using HTTP

It's possible that HTTP connections are being filtered. Google, being a well-known site, may be at the top of the whitelist. The rest of the filter may be broken (?)

You might try other "well known" sites as a test (ebay? some of the large "news" sites, etc.)

Try pinging the servers that don't work? Tracert?

If you're paranoid, this is the error message that you'll see if your machine has been compromised by a "man in the middle" style attack.

The proxy relays your HTTP traffic to the desired web sites, but also captures all your traffic for future analysis.

Look for a proxy server either at the "retail vendor" or misconfigured in your network settings, or in your browser. By default, Windoze XP will detect, configure, and save a proxy server if you have "Automatically detect settings" checked in the LAN configuration:
