Yes, thank you, that is the kind of patient explanation I need.

And now this is what comes back:

Chain input (policy ACCEPT: 12221 packets, 8662339 bytes):
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT: 0 packets, 0 bytes):
Chain output (policy ACCEPT: 13334 packets, 796815 bytes):

as root? Apparently there is something else going on not in ipchains but 
elsewhere.
