Is this a lab or production scenario?
I'll answer as if it's a lab.
I assume that your "xxx" means that the digits are the same for both
interfaces. For example Ethernet is 10.10.10.1 and Serial is 10.10.10.2.
Assume subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 . In that case the router thinks that
they are on the same subnet and thus cannot route between them. Try
10.10.11.2 for the serial. It should work.
No, you can't force it. You can use different subnet masks to create subnets
that are close numerically. Watch ip subnet zero.
Maybe for Ethernet 10.10.10.17 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.240.
Connected PCs would have a default gateway of 10.10.10.16. Serial line could
be 10.10.10.33 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.240 .
