a .tgz file is the same as .tar.gz  just use tar -xzvf file.tgz
The error you mentioned is related to routing issues.  Using ifconfig,
make sure your ip. netmask and broadcast are ok.  Then check your
routing info with netstat -rn.  First things first, you'll need to be
able to use ping -n to reach 127.0.0.1, your ip, and your default route
and we can go from there.
