You can stop pmfirewall when its installed by running
service pmfirewall stop
Which clears the rules and set them to deny. Did you read the
documentation fully? Its a neat utility, so don't give up on it yet.
If you must use ipchains directly, then...
ipchains -F input
ipchains -F output
ipchains -F forward
Wil do the trick...
