I have 2 PCs running Jessie. One PC was affected by this bug, but not 
the other.
I tried to "diff" the 2 PC configurations with not luck.
I also fiddled with avahi as described above but again with no success.

After seeing Keivan message, I check my network modules. The 2 PCs were 
using the r8169 module but the network card are different :
Affected PC : RTL8168evl/8111evl
Non affected PC : RTL8168g/8111g
So I switch to the r8168 module on the affected PC using sid package and 
the bug is now gone.

Thanks Keivan.
