Presuming that is the right address for your region on this ball of
dirt, how do you access Google? Google and YouTube share the same
address block, which is addresses 74.125.239.0-74.125.239.14.
Google owns 74.125.0.0/16 for that matter. I don't doubt that they
have other netblocks, too.

iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -s 74.125.236.0 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -s 74.125.236.0 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 74.125.236.0 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s 74.125.236.0 -j DROP
but how to block on the whole network. Other hosts are still able to access
youtube.

Maybe you should take a look at ClearOS[1].
It is a RHEL based distribution from a company that, now, develops
layer7-filter. In a simple way I was able to block all FLV videos (even if
the users are still able to reach youtube.com <http://youtube.com>, they can
not see any videos).

"block youtube on my network" is not a very well defined wish.
If you want to merely block the well known youtube IP and DNS addresses,
you can use iptables, etc. Be prepared to update these lists frequently
to keep up with things like youtu.be <http://youtu.be> & co.
If you want to prevent users of the network from watching all youtube
videos always,
give up now.
First of all, you will have to be able to handle legitimate exceptions:
"how do I watch training videos for Altera Quartus software that
happen to be hosted on youtube?!?".
Second, you will have to handle all the possible 3rd party redirectors,
proxies, and other kludges specifically designed to circumvent
youtube blockers such as you are try to build.
