I suggest you read the IPCHAINS-howto (on linuxdoc.org).  It is very
informative and explains a lot about packet filtering (firewalling).

ipchains isn't a running service, but rather a tool to adjust the
kernel's packet filtering tables.  You can see what the current rules
are using the command

    ipchains -L

Post that output here and someone (probably even me ;-)) will decipher
it for you and tell you why you can't make any connections.  BTW, do
you have the 'ipmasq' package installed?
