 |
|
My ISP(Comcast) was going slow as hell so I pinged google to see what the response times were. After 5 packets I got this message:
| Quote: | WARNING: failed to install socket filter
: Protocol not available |
I've never seen it before. Anyone know what it is? |

If I recall correctly, that message appears every now and then when you don't have "Socket Filtering" enabled in the kernel. Please check it under make menuconfig --> Networking Options --> Socket Filtering.

Then enable it, recompile the kernel and everything should be ok.
