freeman....it depends on what you want ipchains to do. If it
is to allow the machines on a lan to all access the internet
through one gateway machine then you need to set up
IP-Masquerading. If so start at the below URL:

But if it is to set up a firewall then you can get a script
that does that for you at the below URL:
