IPCHAINS to IPTABLES

[Pinball]

Hi, this may be something really silly, but I just can't find it. I have installed 2.4.1 kernel and would like to run iptables instead of ipchains, in order to do that, would I need to change the rules syntax or more than that?
Because I read somewhere that in iptables the packets are analyzed in just one chain, and I'am no really sure how this affects everything...
I know now the diference in the syntax, so that's not a problem. By the way, does anyone know where can I find a GOOD example for iptables?
Thanks, for any reply

there was a guy in the web security form who was posting lots of examples.. alegeron or something like that.. go to the search page and search in the Web/Security forum got "iptables" and you will get many, many examples to learn from.

i believe you will need to get iptables. locate it by typing: which iptables and if nothing shows up, then you will need to go to www.rpmfind.net (http://www.rpmfind.net) and get the rpm and install it ;o) oh and you'll have to compile with kernel support and all that other good stuff =) there might be a NHF on it, btw.
