Here's my /etc/network/interfaces setup:
###
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static # This is my university network (ethernet)
    address x.x.x.54
    netmask 255.255.254.0
    network x.x.x.0
    broadcast x.x.x.255
    gateway x.x.x.1

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static # This is my internal network, see diagram below
    address 192.168.1.1
    network 192.168.1.0
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
###

Here is how my internal network is set up. All cables are the same, that
were purchased from the university store:

[outside network jack] ---- [linux: eth0]
                                          [linux: eth1]
                                                  |            [Linksys
EtherFast 5-port Workgroup Hub]
                                                  ------------[Uplink]  [1]
[2]  [3]  [4]  [5]

Hope this is enough information. :) Any more, just make the request and
it'll be given.
