I had the same issue. Turns out it's an error with the Host File because the Version of Itunes I was using was outdated. Checked for updates , installed latest ITunes Version. It cleared error 3194 and was able to successfully restore the company IPAD, which was locked with a passcode from a former employee. 🙂

Problem Solved !
