[lug] switches

I have a question about switches.  I have an internal network setup with a linux box acting as a
firewall with two nic's in it.  One nic links to an external connection, the other is connected to a
an 8 port switch which is then connected to a couple of hubs.

Right now I can't get any communication amongst the boxes on the network.  Yesterday was working fine
but now nothing will talk to anyone.  I have the internal nic on the firewall connected to a regular
port on the switch (not the uplink) and then I have two hubs whose uplink ports connect to the switch.
All lights on the hubs and switch indicate traffic, power, link etc. But I am not getting any sort of
response.  Any ideas?

Hugh
