>Description:
unable to access external hosts through a packet forwarding gateway.

icmp (ping) and udp (dns) to external hosts is working but it cant make
any external tcp connection. internal connections are fine. other 
internal hosts can connect to external hosts. 

route monitor displays this message:
got message of size 124
RTM_LOSING: Kernal Suspects Partitioning: len124, pid:0, seq: 0, errno: 0, 
flags:<UP,GATEWAY,HOST,DONE,WASCLONED>
locks:  inits:
sockaddrs: <DST,GATEWAY>
 165.113.58.23 207.99.60.65

i can ping the host and traceroute to it.

ive reinstalled freebsd many times

tcp packets are going out but not receiving any response.

when i run windows on the same machine with the same ip config i have 
no problems.

no one could help me in freebsd-questions.

 Would this happen to be an Annex?  Annex terminal servers (among others)
 can't handle the RFC1323 and/or RFC1644 TCP extensions, so if you're
 behind one of these you have to set tcp_extensions=NO in
 /etc/sysconfig or /etc/rc.conf .
