I'm using samba as PDC + Veth successfully with an ubuntu dapper container.

smb.conf has the line :  interfaces = 192.168.1.4

the network-settings in /etc/network/interfaces :

auto veth18.5 lo

iface veth18.5 inet static
        address 192.168.1.4
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.6

iface lo inet loopback


HTH.
