Run tar on the file once. If the file that gets extracted still has the .tar extension, run tar again.
When i run tar once i get the following message.
Tar: tape blocksize error

Make sure that the file you have is really a tar archive. Check this by using the command 'file <filename>'. This will tell you what type of file it is, so that you can take the necessary action.
its a gzip compressedd file.Any suggestions on how to untar it.
Thanks,

use gunzip
use the following command
gunzip -c <archive> | tar tvf -
