maybe the bridge is generating some STP (spanning tree protocol) events at 
setting up time.  the hoster's switch interprets it as if you've put your own 
switch at the given port (it would be a correct interpretation, btw).  try to 
disable STP (brctl stp br0 off) before adding peth0 to it.

make sure that you're allowed to put two machines at that port.  if you don't 
use NAT or routing you'll have to use two MACs at a single port.  maybe 
you'll have to ask them to register your new MAC to add it to their bridging 
table.
