Eth1 and  2 are both are to automatic ip addressing?

Eth1 and  2 are both are to automatic ip addressing?
No fixed ip
"Eth1 and  2 are both are to automatic ip addressing?" if both are setup to automatic both will get ip from DHCP server and both will get their respective gatewas ip depending upon to whom  physically they are connected

try setting one to static and set ip and gateway

but practically saying may be  this metric logic looks ok but it doesnt work one pc one gateway!!
These settings work:
