I struggled to setup multiple networks working simultaneously.. Sharing my findings and steps involved:
1. Set Manual Metric Setting for all Network interfaces. Lower value takes the preference! So, set lowest value for the network which should be opened for most requests like Internet connection.
Detailed steps:

2. Only Single Gateway Interface configuration required. i.e. For most preferred Interface, define the Gateway, for rest of the Network Adaptors, use Static IP Configuration without Gateway setting.
3. For Accessing Internal Servers, either access them first and then change the Metric setting else specify the Static Route using following commands:
route –p add destination mask subnetmask gateway metric costmetric if interface
For eg.
route -p add 192.213.64.20 mask 255.255.255.0 192.213.40.254 metric 2
4. Now, you can access both networks from single machine !
