Why can't i use the network 172.16.0.0 network on a serial interface?

I'm trying to practice EIGRP configuration in packet tracer, but when I do 172.16.0.0 and add my other networks such as 172.16.32.0, 172.16.64.0 it doens't get added. i do have no auto-summary enabled...

figured out i had encapsulation set for frame relay on one switch but not the other!!! lol

disregard

I think you have overlapping IP addresses.
You gave us the two running configs but not the results of the routing table.

Check your subnet masks. How many devices are on the networks.
Your fastethernet link should give you some problems.
Then confirm the serial link is up and transferring traffic.

I would confirm that you can communicate on the link without eigrp.

Hope this helps. I am always vague on purpose.

Good Luck!

edit:
I don't have time to test it out but I wonder what the results of using a single network statement would be.
router eigrp 1
network 172.16.0.0
no auto-summary

it worked when i removed encapsulation frame-relay from Router, since my router two didn't have it on its serial interface, i added them both back to both routers and they converged again!

I also changed 172.16.0.1 0.0.0.31 to be networked
