I had subsequently noticed that I had included a default gateway address
it the file: /etc/network/interfaces
The secondary network interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.110
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
The system will now maintain connectivity with both interfaces up.
However...
When I plug eth1 into a router i can connect to another network (the
status light on the card lights) but when i connect straight to another
pc, i.e.
ISP

EXTIF
Sarge Box
INTIF

Client PC
the light doesn't work and the client can't ping INTIF. The proxy/NAT
page at
http://www.aboutdebian.com/proxy.htm shows a hub between the
proxy server and the client. Is this essential or should my topology
work?
