Have you got something like this in your firewall config?

# Allow TCP through if setup succeeded
$fwcmd add pass tcp from any to any established

This is taken from /etc/rc.firewall.  What it sounds like to me (and I
could be wrong) is that the connection is being accepted and then
afterwards the packets are being truncated by the firewall because you
don't have that line in.

Try it and hopefully it will work.

Cheers,
Marc
