Having two separate NICs, with different IP addresses, on the same physical 
network segment is "tricky" to say the least.  You would be better off doing 
one of two things:
- Use only 1 NIC, and assign both IP addresses to it
- Bond the 2 NICs and assign both IP addresses to it

You could set up routing policy tables, but that's kind of an advanced topic.

Otherwise, take a look at the following using the sysctl command:
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter
net.ipv4.conf.lo.rp_filter
net.ipv4.conf.eth0.rp_filter
net.ipv4.conf.eth1.rp_filter

Make sure they're set to 0 and not to 1.
