First of all, you need to check 'Networking options'->'Network packet
filtering' .
Then you need to enable iptables in your kernel. Go to 'Networking
options'->'IP: Netfilter Configuration'
and check 'IP tables support'
Check anything else there you would like too.
To use iptables on the bridge, you need to check 'Networking
options'->'802.1d Ethernet Bridging'->Bridge: firewalling support'
Hope this clears everything for you.
