I think Scott meant for that to be the broadcast address. That sure looks
like a broadcast address to me. But there's no "addr" keyword for the
ifconfig command, so I think you should use the "broadcast" keyword instead.
Try this:
ifconfig eth0 10.241.1.193 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.241.1.255 up
Be sure to use that 255.255.255.0 netmask.
