Because the routes, ( C:\> route print ) say to send such packet to your GW,
that know nothing about 10.54.0.0/24 and then follow its own route to
is own GW that do the same ...
Finlay nobody on the internet know about 10.54.0.0/24 and you never
get answered.
But Internet know about Google, that get the packet and answer.
If you teach your GW or your own computer for what to do with such
packets, they will reach their target
AND if the reverse way is well defined too you will get an answere.

No way, DNS don't configure route, you cannot break away

Dont forget IP protocol and ETHERNET protocol are working together
here. You should know how.
