Check that you have a DHCP client installed supported by the "dhcp" method in /etc/network/interfaces. List in man interfaces : dhclient, pump, udhcpc, dhcpcd. Usually dhclient (currently provided by package isc-dhcp-client) is installed by default. Try to run that DHCP client on eth1 manually and see what happens. Try to configure eth1 statically and ping the address of the router to check connectivity. Run ifconfig eth1, ethtool eth1 to display the status of eth1.

The gateway is not connected to eth0 and its address is not in eth0's subnet so there is no reason to add it in eth0's stanza. First it will fail, and second the default route will be automatically added to eth1 by the DHCP client. > allow-hotplug eth1 > iface eth1 inet dhcp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
