I have a udhcp server running on eth0. When I give the command on the
windows machine "ipconfig /renew", the router assigns an IP address to
the System in the range 192.168.1.x while the router itself has the IP
192.168.1.1 (default). I can ping the router from the system and
vice-versa.

I manually assigned a static IP to eth1 as 172.19.56.x insync with the
company IP address scheme. I can ping from the router to any other
system on the network.

Now when I try to ping a system or eth1 from the windows machine I get a
time out. But if I have to manually assign an IP to the windows
machine(ie not through the udhcp server) I am able to ping eth1 and any
other system on the network.

How have you set up routing?  Are you trying to do NAT?  You are
probably going to need to set up some IPTables.  It's more than just a
matter of bringing up both interfaces.  (BTW, congratulations on
getting both ports working now)  Have you read through any of the
networking howtos on linuxdocs.org?
