You can't put an Ethernet and Serial interface in the same subnet.  If you
needed to be in the same subnet you would do bridging between the
interfaces.  I don't know what mask you were trying to use, but even if you
used a /30 this would work.  Your network address would be 0, hosts 1 and 2,
broadcast of 3.

Greetings,

I've have a 2500 router, I was giving the Ethernet interface ip
xxx.xxx.xxx.1, and the serial interface xxx.xxx.xxx.2.  The router came back
with an error message the ip addresses are overlapping.  Any idea why this
happens and can I force the router to accept it.

Thank you,

Nabil
