Hello Listees, Mike answer is very good. If your using redhat 7.1 or 7.2 you can use the setup command and go to system services to turn off ipchains and turn on iptables. IMHO don't use the redhat graphical config tools in 7.1. I have not had much luck with them.

IPchains is really fully supported on 2.2.x systems, while IPTables requires 2.4.x kernels. Additionally, the 2.4.x kernels support IPchains in a compatibility mode, while they support IPTables via kernel configurations (if you're using a RedHat supplied 2.4.x kernel, the options have already been compiled in).
