        From the ipfw man page:

        "There are circumstances where fragmented datagrams are unconditionally dropped.  TCP packets are dropped if they do not contain at least 20 bytes of TCP header, UDP packets are dropped if they do not contain a full 8 byte UDP header, and ICMP packets are dropped if they do not contain 4 bytes of ICMP header, enough to specify the ICMP type, code, and checksum.  These packets are simply logged as "pullup failed'' since there may not be enough good data in the packet to produce a meaningful log entry."

        The IPFW message implies that you are seeing low-level network problems with truncated packets.  What does netstat -i and netstat -s | grep frag show?

            Run it from pfSense, not from your Windows box.

                I'm not sure what your problem is.  You don't seem to have excess fragmentation.  You could try swapping out the NIC and see if it goes away but I have no other suggestions.
