There´s something wrong there, maybe you meant something like this:

address 192.168.144.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.144.0
broadcast 192.168.144.255
gateway 192.168.144.233
dns-nameservers 192.168.144.233

or

address 192.168.144.8
netmask 255.255.0.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.255.255
gateway 192.168.144.233
dns-nameservers 192.168.144.233
