My iPad Air 2 is getting an unknown error (3194)

My iPad Air 2 is getting an unknown error (3194) when I try to restore it thru iTunes connected to my computer. I tried to restore the iPad and this is the code that keeps coming up. Any suggestions on how to fix? I tried updating it first, as one person recommended, and then restoring, but got the same error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:

  1. Install the latest version of iTunes.
  2. Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
  3. Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
  4. Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
