Bridge (and dummynet) works fine on my dell laptop. The problem was with the virtual machines, which has been fixed as posted previously. Thanks again for the help.
Thanks for all the replies. I am making progress. I have it working now on VMware VMs. :) Problem was the default security settings on the VMs prevented MAC address substitution. When I get back to my office, I will try it and make it work on a physical machine. Will post on my progress...

Hi, I am trying to get bridging to work on a two interface system using the following commands:
ifconfig bridge create
ifconfig bridge0 addm em0 addm em1 up #interface names are em0 and em1
