The interface from the host OS to the guest also needs to be part of
the bridge.  For instance, in Linux KVM, the "tap" interface presented
by the host OS has to be part of the bridge.   The guest OS can assign
the IP you want and traffic passes bidirectionally.   Don't know about
other Virtualization platforms.

Can you share the output from "/sbin/brctl show"?

This is what my setup looks like (from a Debian setup)

$ /usr/sbin/brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br0             8000.00262d5588d1       no                   eth0
                                                                            tap1
                                                                            tap3
br1             8000.aa9267231e88       no                   tap2
                                                                            tap4
