Help needed - Connecting the container to the outside network

Hello!
I’m new on the docker world and I need some help to configure my docker to connect the containers to the outside network.

Here’s my situation:

I’m building an image (using docker version 1.12.1) based on Ubuntu with oracle database and samba installed.

My problem:

I need to have direct access between my workstations and the containers. Basically I’m trying to make the containers assume an IP from the outside network, this way the workstation will be able to see the container and any directory shared by it’s samba. I need the samba share because my files are strongly attached to the database, they must ‘walk’ together. Also I’ll have multiple containers running at same time.

I already tryed to create a specific network using the same subnet that my workstation uses:
docker network create --subnet 172.16.0.0/16 --ip-range=172.16.0.0/16 --gateway 172.16.1.1 mynetwork

Then I run the container using my network:
docker run -it --net mynetwork --ip 172.16.15.10 myimage /bin/bash

Now i’m inside the container, but there is no communication with my workstation.

Heres the ifconfig output of my container:
