what is the difference when i add:
155.58.189.0 mask 255.255.255.192 155.58.189.67
and
155.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 155.58.189.67

The routes you specified are for different networks. The subnet mask is what defines the network address. Without going into a lot of detail about how to subnet, here is the breakdown of the networks you specified:
Network address: 155.58.189.0
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.192
Host range: 155.58.189.1-62
Broadcast address: 155.58.189.63
Network address: 155.0.0.0
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Host range: 155.0.0.1-155.0.0.254
Broadcast address: 155.0.0.255
The networks above don't have any overlapping addresses. They are completely separate. If you had specified a subnet mask for the second one as 255.0.0.0, that would create an address range that overlapped the first network.
