That doesn't really make any sense. If the server is supposed to access
the Internet through a router at 192.168.1.254, why does it have a NIC with
a public address (81.138.119.225 )? Does this NIC connect to anything?

If the 81.138 NIC has a connection to the Internet you do not need to
use the router. If your router is the only connection to the Internet, you
do not need the second NIC with a public IP.

So the first thing we need to know is what is the NIC with the public
address actually doing? If it is doing nothing, disable it and use the
router at 192.168.1.254 as your default gateway. If it is connected to a
public network you can use it as your Internet connection.
