When you showed the output of brctl show earlier only eth0 showed up. Does the VM NIC showed up attached to br0 when the VM is running? If so, then you can ping the VM from your host? That wouldn't involve the university switches so it would be a good first step before digging into packet dumping arp traffic...

However I setup a test server at home, and am able to get both bridging and NAT to work so this may be an issue with the network on my server. It's a University network and their switches tend to play havoc with virtual servers even though I've been assured enough MAC addresses have been allowed on my port. > > How does one troubleshoot or provide debug information on a correctly or incorrectly functioning network bridge?
