Shouldn't this card (eth1?) have a WAN address rather than a reserved
block address? If your DSL ISP assigns dynamic addresses,
/etc/network/interfaces should probably contain:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
As I understand it, if you have
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.37.95
netmask 255.255.255.0
then the internet (WAN) cannot see your address as it is reserved for
intranets (LAN).

Due to acute attacks of paranoia, I am unable to open your
non-plain-text attachments. Your default gateway in pentiumdioxid's
route should be 192.168.90.95.
At this point, my hardware router/switch/gateway/firewall takes over and
I can add nothing.
