The IP4 address you have assigned to eth0 is wrong.    You have assigned the address of your router which will mess things up.

how should I set up the ip for eth0 and eth1? Sorry I'm very much a newbie

If you are not sure what you are doing then you should DHCP for setting the addresses of the servers rather than using static addresses.     You can then use your router to always give a consistent address to each interface.

 

If you must use static addresses then eth1 must be set to an address that is not already in use on your network.     The address your screenshots show is the address of your router.
