It depends on your system setup, if you have activiated ipcahins, then it 
uses ipchains, if you activate iptables it would use iptables. If you 
change, you need to rerun the configuration wizard.

I would recomend iptables, IMHO it's been less problem with clients behind 
the friewall than when used ipcahins. Of course this would requier that 
you have an 2.4 kernel.
