I am a little unsure on how your network looks...  Maybe
a diagram would help illustrate better.

For ipchains, you can use the "-l" option for logging so
you can debug where the problem(deny/reject packets) is.

ie...  ipchains -A "bla bla bla" -l

 -> 
 -> We are  implementing  a Linux based Firewall System with IPCHAINS.
 -> 
 -> As per our current Intenet setup,all the external IP's(Given by the 
 -> ISP) are using the router as Default Gateway.
 -> 
 -> But as per our design except the external IP in the Firewall,all 
 -> other IP's should use the Firewall System as the gateway.
 -> 
 -> We are able to run the Firewall Script(ie, rc.firewall in /etc/rc.d). 
 -> 
 -> We have two NIC's in the firwall system.
 -> The packets are not forwarded to internet,after making the firewall 
 -> system as the Default Gateway.
 -> 
 -> We are running a DNS service(BIND) in the firewall system.The client 
 -> are getting the domain the name resolved but they are not able to 
 -> browse the Net.
 -> (Packet Forwarding is enabled as IP_V4=yes)
 -> 
 -> We already enabled the forward IPCHAINS also.
 -> 
 -> Do i have to add any other configuration, to make this system as 
 -> default gateway with firewall service??
 -> 
 -> Do i have to run a squid in the firewall server to increase the speed 
 -> of the Net.
 -> 
 -> Thanks in advance..
