Debian uses the single file /etc/network/interfaces to configure its
interfaces.  The following should create eth0 as DHCP and eth1 as a
static IP.  If the static network isn't your default gateway, then
remove the "gateway" line.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface eth1 inet
address 192.168.225.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.225.1
