To stop ipchains for current session: /sbin/service ipchains stop
To stop ipchains loading at boot: /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 ipchains off
To start iptables for current session: /sbin/service iptables start
To have iptables load on boot: /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 iptables on

Note that it is a good idea to work out an iptables ruleset before you kill the
