Check you have a /etc/protocols file on your system.
It should contains this line:
icmp 1 ICMP # internet control message protocol
If you don't have any /etc/protocols file, then grab one from a Unix
system, or
save this text into a new /etc/protocols file on your system:
#
# Internet (IP) protocols
#
ip 0 IP # internet protocol, pseudo protocol number
icmp 1 ICMP # internet control message protocol
ggp 3 GGP # gateway-gateway protocol
tcp 6 TCP # transmission control protocol
pup 12 PUP # PARC universal packet protocol
udp 17 UDP # user datagram protocol
Hope this help.
