try this...

cat /etc/sysconfig/ipchains > /tmp/output.txt
ipchains -L >> /tmp/output.txt
ps aux|grep dhcpcd >> /tmp/output.txt
ps aux|grep pump >> /tmp/output.txt

and then send us the contents of /tmp/output.txt

You will find that TCP 67 is the port for bootp/dhcp conf but I would
think that the firewall should allow for the return packets.

If you want to temporarily turn off your ipchains rulesets on RH 7.2,
try
service ipchains stop

and then turn them on again
service ipchains start

Lastly, I know of nothing that converts ipchains to iptables
