..uh, why ipchains???  Ipchains was waaaay back in the Bronze Age when
sauroids hunted brontosaurs and ran linux-2.2.22, nowadays we're on
iptables aka with linux-2.4.23 and linux-2.6.0-testing12.  ;-)

..overview:  http://netfilter.org/documentation/  then check
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/networking.html for 
whatever basics you might be missing.
