If it's a stock kernel, iptables is a module, as is ipchains (ip_tables.o
and ipchains.o). Your problem is likely that iptables gets loaded first.
If you do that, ipchains can't work, and vice versa.

Iptables is better, but you can get ipchains back if you really want it.
First, make sure you have it running and not the other via ntsysv. Then

/sbin/service iptables stop
/sbin/rmmod ip_tables
/sbin/insmod ipchains
/sbin/service ipchains start
<run ipchains script here>

Providing that works (and it should) and you changed what runs during boot
with ntsysv, you'll have ipchains currently working and also at next
reboot.
