We have a windows mailserver that relays its outbound to a fbsd gateway. We changed to a different fbsd gateway running 4.10. Windows then began having trouble sending to 4.10. Windows "netstat -an" shows dozens of lines like this:

Eventually, the windows SMTP logs line like "cannot connect to remote IP" or "address already in use" because no local tcp/ip sockets are available, we think.
The new gateway/fbsd 4.10 "sockstat -4" shows no corresponding tcp connections when the Windows server is showing as above. On the fbsd 4.10 machines, smtp logs, syslog, and dmesg show no errors.
We switch the windows box to smtp gateway towards the old box/fbsd 4.7, all is cool.
Suggestions with how to proceed debugging, please.
I'm trying to get the dmesg.boot for the 4.7 and 4.10 boxes now, sorry.

Just off the top of my head...
You mentioned the freebsd machine is the gateway. Do you have a firewall on the host blocking connections from the windows machine?
the two mail servers that send outbound to the fbsd gateway are on the subnet, same rules. the firewall is "outside" the subnets of the mail servers and gateways.
We haven't put a sniffer yet. there's none on windows boxes, and tcpview on the fbsd boxes.
We going to start changing NIC model/brands.
thanks Len
