I was going to suggest you look at this thread:
http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2998&highlight=icmp
but I'm not sure that's relevant. What does $ZENHOME/bin/python -V say?

Zenoss builds an internal network-topology map for several of its functions.
It is recommended that you first run "zendisc run --routers" so that, for one
thing, zenping will be happy from the beginning. If you don't, you'll get
thousands
of "Network xxxx not in topology" in your logs. (Don't forget to rotate the
logs :)
