The 'gw' option is not something for the 'ifconfig' command so it tries to resolve it as a network name, which apparently fails. So you need to take that out. It also seems unlikely to me that this is your correct broadcast address, but if your network people say they configured all others in that subnet with this broadcast address, then let it be so. Now 'all others' here is a fairly limited scope, because the subnet leaves you 4 IP addresses, one of which is the broadcast and one is the network. So there is one more system that has the same broadcast address to find the single other system... Also, your gateway is not in your 147.110.49.17/30 network, so with just this tr0 interface you cannot reach it. I think you need to talk to your network folks and get them draw you the picture of what you're going to do. Rob
