Thanks! I discovered the same thing while experimenting with qemu and bridgeng. I think it simply works different from (for example) widnows bridging. I think it's meant to be like that. It also looks more logical either. I think of the bridge as just a packet router, which routes them to all the interfaces(physical and virtual as well) so if the bridge intercepts them with it's own address they can't ereach other interfaces, obviosusly. Maybe I'm wrong here? -- Guido Falsi
