I have installed Ipchains on a Raq. But, i am getting the following problem.

Um, a RaQ 1?

ipchains requires kernel version 2.2 and up. Kernel 2.0 uses ipfwadm, if I recall correctly; I've never used that, nor was I aware that there were RaQs with the older kernel. (I guess that counts as the new thing I've learned today.)

As I see it, you have three choices: install a new kernel, learn to use ipfwadm, or use an external firewall rather than doing it in the kernel.
