"ipchains" is just for setting up firewall rules. This has
nothing to do with forwarding of network traffic.

You should go for a masquerading type of thing, which
translates network packtes from your internal network
to the official IP address of your Linux gateway so that
it can be sent to the internet, packets coming from the
internet will translated again from your Linux gateway
to your internal network.
