Not that I can think of.  There's no reason I can imagine that your local
connectivity should suffer from Internet problems.  Especially if you're
connecting via IP address (which rules out DNS problems).

Could you provide 'netstat -rn' and 'ifconfig' output from GATEWAY, please.
I don't see anything in the other information you provided that would
indicate any sort of misconfig on BSD2.
