I cannot understand why there is a such exception. Please help me.

Answer 1

From the Network is unreachable, I'd say a connection error : either Google was unreachable (which is not very probable), either your internet connection had a problem.

Answer 2

If you're behind a proxy you need to tell java about it like this:

java -DproxyHost=<proxy host> -DproxyPort=<proxy port> -classpath %cPath% com.googlecode.syncnotes2google.SyncNotes2Google

I had to use this when using the syncnotes2google application.
