ipchains is for kernels in the 2.2 series. iptables is for kernels in the 2.4 series. However, I believe there's an option in the kernel configuration so that you can continue to use ipchains commands with the 2.4 kernels. I'd suggest going with this option until you get a chance to update your firewall rules to iptables, (which I'd really suggest you do since iptables has some options that aren't available in ipchains).
