Description
I am deploying docker containers inside Debian guest VM, the host Windows 8.1 PC uses VB with bridged network. To make the individual container IP reachable from the LAN, I am using IP of same network as well as the containers are connected at a bridge configured in Debian guest.
Now the guest and host are reachable from LAN, containers IPs are reachable from host and guest. but there is no reach-ability between LAN to container IPs.
LAN--------Windows-8.1 host, bridge------[Debian Guest-[--eth0--[bridge]--ethlnk0]]---[eth0--[docker containers]]
It seems that I can maximum cross one bridge hop. I configured "stp" on for the bridge configured inside Debian guest.

A better resolution would be wontfix, probably.
The problem is that bridging to a WiFi interface is not really bridging, but rather something like a simple NAT at Ethernet level. In principle it can be extended to handle multiple MACs per interface, but it's not something we think is worth the effort at the moment.
My setup is using wLAN.
